A call centre owner was stabbed to death in Samaypur Badli after he turned down an offer of partnership in his business, following which the accused was arrested, police said on Tueday.
Police said that Priyanshu, a call centre owner, was stabbed to death on October 19 by one Rahul Rai. His friend Bittoo, who ran the call centre along with Priyanshu, alleged that Rai has been threatening them for not accepting his offer of partnership in the business which was doing well.
A senior police officer said, “On October 21, after getting information that Rai would be visiting Nagal Dargu village in Narnaul district of Haryana, he was arrested from there. During interrogation, Rai told the team that he wanted to take over Priyanshu's business. A few days before he allegedly killed Priyanshu, he had tried to kidnap Bittoo so that he could force him to sign a partnership agreement, said Rishi Pal, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Rohini).
During investigation, cops found that Priyanshu was not interested in getting into any partnership with Rai and tried to defer the deal to avoid a direct confrontation.
last Thursday, Rai came to talk to Priyanshu and Bittoo about the partnership issue, but when they refused, he asked for data of customers, said the officer. When Priyanshu refused to give the details, Rai lost his temper and stabbed him multiple times. He also stole the laptop containing data of customer and other valuables, the officer added.
