On Sunday morning, a restaurant at posh Connaught Place opened its door to find its security guard dead and lying in a pool of blood.
The guard, 26-year-old Rajesh Thakur of Patna, was found stabbed to death in the kitchen of The Host in the F Block of Connaught Place and Rs 2,50,000 in cash were missing from the place, the police said.
Employees who opened the restaurant in the morning found Thakur's body and informed the police. The police said there were multiple stab injuries from a sharp-edged weapon on Thakur.
According to the police, the restaurant closed around 1 am and Thakur remained inside as he was on night duty.
"The employees said that after closing down the place every night, he usually remained inside the restaurant. Our initial investigations suggest that the killer or killers might have used the back entry of the restaurant. An insider's hand cannot be ruled out as the employees have also reported some cash missing," said a police officer.
