New Delhi: Two youths were arrested in
north-east Delhi for allegedly murdering a milk booth owner
who mediated a fight they had with someone and later beat them
up, police said today.
Faisal (20), a driver, and Sahibe Alam (22), a tailor,
were apprehended for killing Ajeet Singh on August seven in
Khajoori.
During interrogation, police claimed, the duo admitted
that they killed the milk booth owner as Alam wanted to take
revenge on him for beating them up.
The duo had a scuffle with a person in Khajoori which
was mediated by Singh.
However, they got into a quarrel with Singh who then beat
them up while locals intervened.
"Alam was furious and wanted to take the revenge as they
presumed themselves as big criminals of the area and it was
shameful for them as they had been beaten publicly," a senior
police officer said.
So, they allegedly planned to murder Singh, the officer
added.
