Noida Driver Killed, Family Claims He was Told to Chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’ by 2 Men Who Boarded His Cab

A cab driver from Delhi was found dead in his car while coming home after dropping a passenger in Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr on Sunday. His family alleged he was made to chant "Jai Shri Ram" before he was killed by some passengers who he had picked up in the UP town on his way back.

The Maruti Suzuki Dzire compact sedan was found by a police patrol in Greater Noida's Badalpur, 57 km from Delhi. The police have denied any communal angle in the death of the 45-year-old cab driver, Aftab Amal.

After dropping a passenger in Bulandshahr, Mr Amal picked up three people in the return leg. At some point during the drive, Mr Amal called home using his mobile phone, his son Sabir said.
