The incident took place in Bharat Nagar area at around 2:45 AM and the deceased has been identified as Naresh Kumar (42).
"We have arrested Sukha (30) in connection with the murder," police said.
"They were patrolling the streets when a message was flashed over wireless that some criminals were passing through the area in a mini-truck. Barricades were erected. After spotting the mini-truck, Kumar and a home guard started chasing them. During the chase, the truck hit the motorcycle from its right," they said.
