NEW DELHI: A 23-year-old man was arrested for killing a property dealer in Najafgarh of Dwarka district on Friday.
Police said the accused wanted to take revenge on the deceased for implicating his father in a false case. The deceased, Amit Shokeen, suffered 13 bullet injuries.
On Wednesday, Shokeen, along with two others — Charan Singh and Dinesh Bhau — was travelling in his car. The video of the incident shows that, when Shokeen’s car entered a lane, another white car blocked its way. When the victim tried to reverse, two men got out of their vehicle and chased him. The assailants then rained bullets at Shokeen.
DCP (Dwarka) Santosh Meena said, based on information, a team led by inspector Pawan Tomar arrested the accused, Deepak, near Firni Road in Dwarka and recovered one pistol with two live rounds from his possession.
During interrogation, Deepak told the cops that, in January 2021, his father was harassed by Shokeen over a property in Baba Haridas Nagar and implicated him in a false case of attempt to murder in which his father was arrested and sent to jail. His brother, too, was wanted in the case.
Shokeen threatened to implicate Deepak as well, following which he, along with his associates Krishan and Darshan Dabas, hatched a plan to kill Shokeen.
