New Delhi: In an extremely shocking incident of cold blooded murder, a man invited his colleague for a drink to his home, beheaded him, and slept next to the body before throwing the severed head in the garbage dump.

Sandeep Mishra, who works as a machine operator at an automobile ancillary company, was upset with Pramod Kumar - who was his senior as well as a colleague - for complaining about his work to seniors, they said.

The crime took place on Sunday; it was discovered on Monday when Pramod Kumar's wife, who stays 300 km away in Kasganj, was unable to contact him and arrived at the house of the accused after hearing that they had an argument recently.

"The wife of the deceased, Meera Devi, who lived in Kasganj, dialed Pramod Kumar several times but couldn't establish contact. She then reached Ghaziabad and visited the house which was locked. Since she knew that Sandeep Mishra worked with him, she visited his house and found the dead body. Sandeep Mishra was apprehended from near his home," Gyanedra Kumar, a police officer, said.

The cordial relation as office colleague between Pramod and Sandeep turned sour after the victim complained to his seniors about malfunctioning of office machines due to Sandeep. Since then, Sandeep was in revenge mood, angry over Pramod.

On Sunday, Sandeep called Pramod Kumar and invited him for a drink to his room. According to the police, their factory quarrel came up and they started bickering again.

When Pramod was heavily drunk, Sandeep allegedly killed him with a knife and beheaded him. He then slept with the body at night, took the severed head in a plastic bag the next day and threw it in the garbage dump near his home.
