New Delhi, November 15 (Yes Punjab News)
A double murder was reported in Delhi’s Bawana area after a man allegedly shot dead a 27-year-old following a quarrel before being killed by the victim’s brother in a retaliatory attack, police said on Sunday.
The accused in the second murder, identified as Naresh, the brother of the deceased Sachin, has been apprehended. Police are investigating the circumstances and motive behind the incident.
According to police, information about a person suffering a gunshot injury was received at Bawana police station around midnight on November 15. A police team rushed to the hospital, where Sachin, a resident of Pooth Khurd village, was found dead with a gunshot wound to his chest.
During the investigation, police found bloodstains and three empty cartridges inside a cowshed owned by Sachin’s family. Further searches led them to another body in an adjoining lane, around 100 metres from the first location. The deceased was identified as Sonu alias Pradeep, also a resident of Pooth Khurd.
Preliminary findings based on CCTV footage and local enquiries suggest that Sonu allegedly shot Sachin following a quarrel. Naresh subsequently allegedly caught hold of Sonu and killed him, police said.
Police have apprehended Naresh in connection with Sonu’s killing and are examining the circumstances surrounding both deaths.
