A 21-year-old youth was killed by three men, including two of his uncles, for trying to have an affair with the wife of one of them. All three have been arrested, police said on Thursday.
Pradeep Kumar was killed by his uncles Bijender Singh and Devender Singh with help from two others, Mangal Singh and Dharmender alias Dharma.
Pradeep Kumar, a resident of Siraspur village in Delhi, had left for Garauli Kalan village in Gurgaon on November 11, 2014 but went missing, police said.
A police officer told IANS that there was a monetary dispute between the uncles and their nephew but the main cause for the murder was that Pradeep Kumar wanted to have an affair with one of their wives.
All the three arrested -- along with Dharmender alias Dharma, a resident of Rajasthan's Alwar district -- plotted to kill Pradeep Kumar.
They took him to a marriage party in Rewari in Haryana, murdered him in a car and dumped the body.
