Two robbers arrested in murder, assault case

Two robbers were today arrested for allegedly murdering a gang member and severely injuring another here, police said.
The deceased has been identified as one Mukesh and the injured as Kanhaiya, both of whom were found in an abandoned car at a check-post on the intervening night of March 26 and 27 in south-west Delhi's Dwarka sub-city.
When police checked the vehicle, they found the two persons lying in a pool of blood on the rear seat. They were rushed to a hospital, where Mukesh was declared brought dead and Kanhaiya was admitted with severe injuries, a police official said.

On questioned by police, Kanhaiya said that they were members of a robbery gang.
He claimed they had an argument with their associates over distribution of money after a robbery, following which they allegedly stabbed them, police said.
Mukesh and Kanhaiya were both assumed dead and were put in a car with an intention of dumping them near the city's border.

The driver of the car at the check-post, seeing the police security, boarded another car (driven by his accomplice) which was right behind his vehicle and fled, a senior official said.
With Kanhaiya's help, the police conducted raids and arrested two of the accused, identified as Ajay and Deepak, while three others -- Omveer, Sunil and Vinay -- are at large, he said.

The police are conducting raids at Aligarh and Mathura to arrest them at the earliest, the official said.
The plan was to take the car to an isolated spot near the city borders or at Haryana and set it afire, the official said.
