On Janauary 10 morning, the body was found on a hill at the back side of Madrasi Mandir, Block No-14, Dakshin Puri, in the area.
"The body of a man, aged about 20-25 years, was found in partially burnt condition and some blood stained stones were also found lying near it. The body was identified on January 12 as that of Chetan Kumar Singh," said DCP (Southeast) Romil Baaniya.
Based on "technical surveillance", two persons, Vikram (22) and Suraj (21) were apprehended from nearby Jahanpanah City Forest and interrogated at length, the officer said.
"During interrogation, they told police that Vikram had given a loan of Rs 35,000 to the deceased Chetan about 1.5 years back.
"Since Vikram was unemployed these days, he was in need of money. He asked Chetan to pay his loan but the deceased refused. Vikrarm made a plan with Suraj and a juvenile to murder Chetan," said the officer.
"When Chetan refused, Vikram, along with his associates Suraj and the juvenile murdered him by hitting him with stones and later they tried to burn the dead body," the official added.
