New Delhi: A 40-year-old security guard was found dead while cash worth Rs eight lakh was missing from a factory in North-East Delhi, police said Friday.

Around Rs 8 lakh in cash was also found missing from the room," said a police official.
The cash belonged to the company. Paswan`s body was discovered in the morning by one Nitin. The assailants could be known to the victim, police said.
