Man held for killing two persons over monetary dispute in Delhi

A 24-year-old man was arrested on Monday for allegedly killing two persons over a monetary dispute in Outer North Delhi's Shahbad Dairy area, police said.

Anthony Bagher, who was living in Khera Khurd here and hails from Haryana's Rohtak district, along with two other men, allegedly shot dead the victims on October 14, a senior officer said.

After three days their bodies were found in a canal in Katju Marg area, he said.

The victims, Amit (30), resident of Rohini's Sector-28, and his servant Nikhil Gulati (40) were missing from 8 pm on October 14 after they went to meet Naveen, said Gaurav Sharma, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outer North).

The next day, Amit's brother Jaideep lodged a missing report at Shahbad Dairy police station, he said.

"During investigation, it was revealed that Naveen had borrowed nearly Rs 7 lakh from Amit, out of which an amount of around Rs 2 lakh was not repaid," the DCP said.

Amit had kept Naveen's car in lieu of the pending amount, he added.

On the day of the incident, Amit and Naveen talked over phone and in the evening Amit, along with his servant Gulati, went to meet Naveen to collect the remaining money, the DCP said.

A scuffle took place between Naveen and Amit after they met, following which Naveen, Bagher and the third accused allegedly shot dead both the victims, the officer added.

Efforts are on to arrest Naveen and the other absconding person, the DCP said.
