Four persons have been arrested for allegedly robbing and murdering a man last month in east Delhi, police today said.
The police arrested three vagabonds-- Vivek, Arjun and Shiv Kumar and UP resident Naveen Raghav, all in early 20s, for allegedly robbing and murdering Hapur resident Harish in December last year.
It said that on the wee hours of December 24, a body was found near a metro pillar by the officials of Anand Vihar Police Station in east Delhi and injury marks were found on the Harish's body. A case of murder was lodged by police.
With the help of call details record of the victim's mobile phone, the name and address of Sim card holder was tracked and raid was conducted in Sahibabad in UP, where accused Arun Raghav was found using Harish's phone.

Raghav disclosed details and all the four accused were arrested by the police which claimed that they have also confessed their crime.
According to police, the accused claimed that he had

first met Akanksha in 2007 and remained in contact with her on a social networking site.
He later changed his version, stating that the victim came to live with him in Bhopal after they became friends on Facebook last year, the officer said, adding that Udyan had a lavish lifestyle and used to travel in costly cars.
"We have been verifying details. He would be produced in a court today," the police officer said.

Police also said Akanksha's family had lodged a complaint with West Bengal Police in Bankura after they lost touch with her.
Akanksha's father claimed that his daughter had left home in June 2016 seeking job. She was in touch with her parents over phone, but it stopped in December last year and since then remained in contact only through text messages.
She told her parents in a message that she was working in the US.
Suspecting her activities, the family traced the phone number through which she used to text and found that the number was registered on an address in Saket Nagar here.

Later, they lodged a complaint with Bankura police on January 5.
The West Bengal police kept an eye on Udyan's phone records and detained him after reaching Bhopal yesterday. He then spilled the beans during interrogation.
Police said that based on Udyan's admission, they started digging the marble platform at his house and recovered the body this morning.
