The 58-year-old sub-inspector, identified as Rajkumar, posted at the Police Control Room (PCR), was found dead in Shahdara’s Vivek Vihar area in East Delhi.
Rajkumar reportedly died as a result of assault following a quarrel with a suspected criminal in the Vivek Vihar area, officials said on Monday. The incident took place on Sunday night in Vivek Vihar area when he had gone out for a walk after dinner, a senior police officer said.
A case under the relevant sections of the IPC has been registered at Vivek Vihar police station and the accused, who is a history-sheeter, has been arrested, police said, adding that they are investigating whether other people were also involved in the incident.
