Three arrested for killing two men in Shahdara

Initial investigation revealed that the arrested persons are allegedly part of wanted criminal Chennu Pehalwan’s gang. Police said the murders were a fallout of the gang rivalry between the Chennu and Nasir gangs in Seelampur.
A few months ago, Nasir’s men allegedly shot dead two of Chennu’s associates — one of whom was Mumtaj’s brother. Police suspect Wajid and Hussain were murdered in retaliation.

As first reported by The Indian Express, police suspect Wajid — a money lender and property dealer — provided financial support to Nasir. He was facing at least a dozen criminal cases. Police are yet to ascertain the reason behind Hussain’s murder.
