Two persons were arrested for allegedly killing a man following an altercation between them in southeast Delhi's Meethapur area, police said on Saturday.

The deceased was identified as Khemchand (47). His daughter told police that Khemchand went out with Vishnu Bhati and his nephew Sourav Bhati in the morning.

When Khemchand returned home at 3.30 pm, he had injury marks on his chest, back and hands.

He told his daughter that Sourav Bhati and his friend Ravi took him to a forest in Faridabad, where they thrashed him with belts and sticks.

After narrating the ordeal to his daughter, he went to his room. Later in the evening when Khemchand's daughter went to his room to wake him up, he did not answer.

She took him to a hospital, where he was declared brought dead by doctors.

"Police nabbed Sourav and his friend Ravi. One bike, a belt and a stick were recovered from their possession," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southeast) R P Meena said.
