The Gautam Budh Nagar police have arrested three people involved in a murder of an Uber taxi driver on Monday.

According to police, the deceased has been identified as Moolchand Pal, a taxi driver in Noida. Pal was choked to death with a clutch wire used by the three accused on July 7.

He used to drive a WagonR car which was enrolled with Uber.

“Pal had gone missing on the night of July 6. We had got a complaint against him for breach of trust by his employer. We were tracing his mobile to find them,” said Suniti, Superintendent of Police (Rural), Noida.

Police then found an unidentified body of a man on July 8 under the slum area of Dasna flyover in Ghaziabad. Later, that body was found to be that of Pal’s.

“The family has accused Rahul, Pal’s friend, of being behind his death as he was last seen with them. Rahul has been called for interrogation,” Suniti added.

During interrogation, Rahul revealed that he, along with his other two associates, had strangled Pal in order to steal his car and sell it for money.

According to a senior police officer, the three, along with Pal, went for a long drive on the night of July 7. The three made Pal drink a lot, as a result of which he felt drowsy. After this, they strangled him and threw his body out of the car where it was later found.

Following the information provided by Rahul, his associates, Raj Kumar and Wasim were also nabbed on Monday afternoon from Ghaziabad. “Rahul said his associates would be traveling from Tilpata to Ghaziabad to sell the car. So a team was formed to nab the two. They were trapped near the Ghaziabad border and we have recovered the WagonR,” said Suniti.
