NEW DELHI: The
northeast Delhi Police have
arrested three
notorious criminals in connection with the
twin murders that took place in
Dayalpur locality on
September 12.
The accused have been identified as Javed Chikna, Sahabjaan and Jaan Saif Ali who are locals of the area. They were in the business of manufacturing undergarments. The cops have seized
three pistols, a car and a bike from the trio.
The arrests were made after the shooters were identified in the footage of several CCTV cameras while fleeing the spot.
An informer tipped off the cops about their movement to an undisclosed location after which they were apprehended.
“Javed and Sahabjaan said they had an enmity with the deceased Farooq in connection with a woman. Javed also had some property and financial dispute with Abdul Hameed. So, they plotted a conspiracy to eliminate the deceased,” additional DCP MA Rizvi said.
On September 12, within a span of half an hour and barely over a kilometre apart, three men were shot at in different locations in northeast Delhi. While two of them, both business partners, died, their acquaintance sustained a bullet wound in his abdomen and is recuperating. At least a dozen rounds were fired as two men went around the area and first killed 45-year-old Farooq in Old Mustafabad and, later, his business partner, Abdul Hameed, at his office just over a kilometre away.
The accused disclosed that they had escaped from Delhi immediately after the commission of crime and had visited Ajmer, Meerut and Roorkee.
