Two gardeners were found dead inside a room at an under-construction hostel in Greater Noida's Knowledge Park area on Friday, police said. According to police, the deceased were identified as Indra (45) and Sheeshpal (45), both residents of Meerut district. Additional Commissioner of Police Rajeev Narain Mishra said police received information about two bodies lying inside the hostel premises located under Knowledge Park police station limits. ''Preliminary inquiry revealed that the two men had arrived at the hostel two to three days ago to work as gardeners,'' Mishra said. He said another man had accompanied them and all three were staying in the same room. ''On Thursday night, they consumed alcohol and possibly a dispute took place among them. CCTV footage shows the third person leaving the premises early Friday morning,'' the officer said. Police suspect the involvement of the third person in the incident and have formed two teams to trace and arrest him, he added. The bodies have been sent for post-mortem after completion of the panchnama procedure, police said. A field unit and forensic team inspected the crime scene and further legal proceedings are underway, officials added.
