: Four persons have been arrested in connection with a double murder case in west Delhi’s Moti Nagar.
On January 12, the bodies of two men were found lying near the Jakhira bus stop. The faces of both bodies were crushed with stones, said DCP (West) Vijay Kumar.
Accused involved in thefts
After efforts that included circulating details about the bodies in Delhi and scanning details of all the missing persons in the Capital as well as neighbouring States, the duo were identified as Guljar and Anil Shah. It was also found that Guljar was part of a group that was involved in luggage thefts at bus stands and railway stations, said the officer.
Technical surveillance was employed to nab the accused which zeroed upon the Azad group and its members were nabbed. “During interrogation, it was revealed that Mohd. Azad, along with his fix-sic group members, was involved in duping innocent passengers on account of arranging confirmed railway berths in trains in west and north- west Delhi.
“Guljar used to take money from this group and he had been putting pressure on the group to increase the money. When Mohd. Azad had objected to it, Guljar managed to get him arrested,” said the officer.
Since their activities were affected, Mohd Azad, along with his group members, Sonu, Samshad and Akbar decided to kill Guljar.
“On January 9, Azad called Guljar for a drink. Guljar came there along with his associate Anil. When Guljar and his associate were under the influence of liquor, Azad and his associates strangulated them with mufflers,” he said. — PTI
