Three persons have been arrested for their alleged involvement in the killing of a 28-year-old man in Outer North Delhi’s Narela Industrial Area on April 16, the police said on Saturday.
DCP (Outer North) Gaurav Sharma said that the accused identified as Sankit (25), Sandeep Rana alias Lali (22), and Ravi alias Basan (22), who along with their accomplice, allegedly opened fire at the victim Ravinder alias Monu at Khera Kalan.
The police said that Ravinder who has criminal cases registered against him was on his bike and the accused were in a car when they shot him multiple times leaving him dead on the spot. Investigators claimed to have zeroed in on them with the help of technical and local intelligence.
Ensured victim is dead
During interrogation, they allegedly confessed to the crime and said that one of their accomplices, who is currently absconding, fired at the victim when he was going towards Khera canal. After making sure that Ravinder is dead, they fled the spot.
To settle scores
The accused allegedly told the police that they killed Ravinder because his brother Sekhar alias Sannata, who is a bad character of the area and currently lodged in jail, had thrashed one of them and they wanted to settle scores.
“It was revealed that Ravinder was arrested by Delhi Police in various offences. Recently, he was released from jail,” Mr Sharma said.
