A 30-year-old man was found murdered here, his face smashed with a rock, Delhi Police said on Saturday.
Police said Sunder, a resident of Mayur Vihar in east Delhi and an employee of the New Delhi Municipal Council, went out for an evening walk on Thursday but did not return home.
"We found Sunder's body from the Yamuna river on Friday evening. His face had been smashed with a rock to hide his identity," an officer said.
His family members identified him from his clothes and a tattoo mark on his hand.
According to police, personal enmity seemed to be the reason behind the murder of Sunder, a fourth grade employee in NDMC.
Police have detained three suspects in Mayur Vihar.
