The body of a 28-year-old man was found from a graveyard on Nithoura village road in Ghaziabad, Loni Police said on Wednesday.

The dead person has been identified as one Fariyaad, a tractor driver, who had left his house Tuesday to go to his workplace, police said.

From the site where his body was found, police recovered play cards and some syringes with traces of toxic substance near his body, SP (rural) Iraj Raja said.

During investigation, police found that he was killed by an old acquaintance of his, he said.
