Man killed in relationship dispute, 3 arrested

Three people, including a juvenile, have been caught for allegedly killing a man in southwest Delhi over suspicion that he was in a relationship with the girlfriend of one of the accused, police said today. On February 13, a partially burnt body was found at a vacant plot in Dwarka. A case was registered and investigation was launched to identify the dead and his killers, said Atul Kumar Thakur, DCP (Dwarka).

Policemen tried to establish its identity by showing photographs to people in the area. A police team met a vegetable vendor Brij Pal at JJ Colony in Palam village, and he identified the body as that of his 21-year-old son Sandeep on February 20. He told the police that Sandeep had been missing since February 13. During investigation, police found that Sandeep was last seen with a person, identified as Vikas alias Nakli.

Vikas was apprehended, and at his instance, his associates Deepak and another person, a juvenile, were apprehended, DCP Thakur said. Vikas told the police that his girlfriend was ignoring him and he suspected Sandeep was the reason behind it, Thakur said. The accused allegedly hatched a plan to kill Sandeep. He took Sandeep to Sector-9 in Dwarka for a party and killed him with the help of his associates. The body was burnt to hide the identity, the officer added.
