The Crime Branch of Delhi Police arrested two DJs from Bihar's Samastipur for allegedly killing a catering staff member during a private party in Rohini's Sector-12 earlier this week, officials said on Sunday.

The duo -- Aman (22) and Anshul Verma (19) -- fled to Bihar after the alleged murder, they said.
