New Delhi:
Two men allegedly killed a man near the Chintamani red light in east Delhi’s Shahdara as they tried to steal his mobile phone and money, police said on Tuesday.
Although the two accused fled the spot after Monday’s incident, they were later arrested by the police, they said.
Surendra Choudhary, deputy commissioner of police, said the police rushed to the spot after receiving a PCR alert and found the victim between Metro Pillars 81 and 82, bleeding profusely from the head.
“Despite immediate medical attention from GTB Hospital, the victim, identified as Raj Karan, was declared dead,” Chaudhry said.
Subsequently, an FIR was registered and further investigation was conducted.
The accused were identified as Govinda (40) and Vikas (25), police said. Vikas has four other cases against him, they said.
“Our team arrested Govinda and Vikas from their homes. During interrogation, both the suspects admitted their involvement in the crime.
Govinda’s desire to steal his victim’s cell phone instigated a confrontation in a nearby park that led to the fatal attack. After the murder, the duo fled the spot,” the DCP said.
He said further investigation into the matter was ongoing.
