A 21-year-old man and his 22-year-old associate were arrested from west Delhi's Narela for killing the paramour of a woman he loved, police said Sunday.
Alok Kumar Gupta and his associate Kapil Kumar were arrested Saturday.
"The accused stabbed to death 30-year-old Dalip Kumar Bhardwaj Sep 8. The men murdered Dalip because he was having an affair with a woman Alok loved," a police officer said.
