Three alleged criminals have been arrested in connection with the murder of a Delhi-based person here earlier this month, police said today.
Mohit, Ankit and Rajesh were arrested following a raid after a tip-off on their arrival in Basai village in a car late last night, said Mahendra Sehgal, PRO Gurgaon Police.
Police had found Rajesh Sherwat's body at a deserted place at sector-37 in Gurgaon on 15 October. A case in this connection was registered at police station Sector-15, he said.
Sherawat was a resident of Kair Village in Najafgarh area of Delhi and was known to the accused, two of whom belonged to his village.
All the accused have confessed to their involvement in murdering, police claimed, adding that they had hatched a plan to eliminate Sherawat because he used to "bully" them.
"They offered Sherawat liquor and took him to Sector-37 in Gurgaon under the influence of alcohol on the day of crime. Later, they fired at him two bullet rounds, leaving him dead on the spot," Sehgal said.
