One person was killed over non-payment of his share to buy half a bottle of liquor in Mundka area of West Delhi.

"During interrogation, Sanjeev confessed to his crime and said he, along with one Kala and Anil, had consumed liquor near Tempo Stand, Rohtak Road. Later, Kala left the spot," Deputy Commissioner of Police (west) Ranvir Singh said.
"After finishing one bottle, they bought another half a bottle of liquor. The amount was paid by Sanjeev at that time and the deceased promised to give his share later on.
