The victim, Brijesh Kumar, had invited his friend Bhola at his house for a party in northwest Delhi's Sukhdev Nagar on October 9, they added.
Kumar and Bhola had an argument after the former did not allow the latter to smoke in his house. When Bhola did not agree, Kumar slapped him, the police said. Bhola felt insulted and decided to exact revenge for the humiliation.
The trio invited Kumar for a party on October 10 and made him drink too much. Later, they took him for a drive and then shot him in the head, the police said.
They dumped his body in the Bawana canal and later went along with his family to file a missing report at Ashok Vihar police station on October 11, they said.
Meanwhile the police recovered a body of a man in a canal near Rohini sector 16, which was later identified as that of Kumar.
His friends were found to be on the run. They were nabbed yesterday, they added.
