A man, who was absconding after killing a person in Punjabi Bagh area earlier this month, was arrested by the special Cell of Delhi Police, officials said on Monday.

The killing was a result of an ongoing tussle between Arif and Raees, a resident of outer Delhi's Nangloi, a senior police officer said.

Arif is previously found to be involved in 35 cases, including that of murder, extortion, robbery and motor vehicle thefts, the police said.
