The accused, identified as Anil Puri had shot dead his business partner Rajesh Saini over a money dispute and dumped his dead body near a drain in Sector-8, Dwarka on December 19.
Puri, whose father had worked with the Air Force, was arrested by the Crime Branch from near Marble market of Sector-20, Dwarka on Sunday following a tip off, police said.
"He organised a family trip to his sister's house in Nagpur to show his presence in Nagpur during commission of crime. On December 17, he along with his family boarded Kerala Express for Nagpur. He got himself seen in CCTV cameras and his ticket too was checked. As per plan, he got down from the running train in Delhi itself for commission of the crime," said Joint commissioner of Police (Crime) Ravindra Yadav.
Anil Puri fired two shots on his chest and dumped his body. He then left his car and firearms in Sector-3, Faridabad area.
His plan was however spoilt by his wife who suspecting his fidelity, got down at Faridabad and called up everybody in the family and Railway authorities that Puri has alighted from the train.
The accused Anil Puri is a 12th class drop out from Kendriya Vidyalya, APS Colony. His father had expired in the year 2007 after retirement from Air Force as Warrant Officer.

About 8-10 months ago, the victim Rajesh Saini approached and offered him partnership in the business to which the accused Anil Puri agreed and they started their business in a large scale in partnership. However, a dispute arose between them regarding the share of profits/losses in the business after sometime.
