Brutal killing of two labourers at under-construction hostel in Greater Noida triggers panic

GREATER NOIDA: Panic gripped Greater Noida after two labourers were found brutally murdered inside an under-construction hostel of the Sitaram Institute in the Knowledge Park Police Station area on Friday, police said.

The bodies of the two workers were discovered in a blood-soaked condition inside a room on the hostel premises. Preliminary investigation suggests that the assailants may have used a sharp-edged weapon to carry out the murders.

The incident sent shockwaves through the area, following which senior police officials rushed to the spot.

According to police, three labourers had recently arrived at the site for gardening-related work and had been staying in a room within the under-construction hostel premises for the past two days.

The crime came to light on Friday morning when fellow workers and staff members grew suspicious after the room remained locked, and there was no response from inside. Upon entering the room, they found the two labourers lying dead in pools of blood and immediately alerted the police.

A team from the Knowledge Park Police Station reached the spot and cordoned off the area. Forensic experts were also called in to collect evidence from the crime scene. Blood stains and signs of a struggle were reportedly found inside the room.
