Two men, including a former state-level boxer, who allegedly shot dead a man two days ago in south Delhi's Sangam Vihar colony, have been arrested, police said today.
The accused identified as Pradeep (30), the former state-level boxer, and Parveen (25), who is an employee at a cinema hall in south Delhi, were arrested last night after a brief chase by a police team, DCP (South) Ishwar Singh said.
The two were identified after they approached a police picket in Shekh Sarai area. They tried to dodge police and started to run in different directions leaving their motorbike at the spot.
During interrogation, Pradeep disclosed that he earlier used to own a gym in Sangam Vihar, but 40-year-old Jiwan Lal, the victim, had filed complaints against him, leading to shutting down of the gym. Lal also used to verbally abuse him and all that led to Pradeep hatching a plan to eliminate him at once.
On Thursday, Pradeep along with his friend Parveen, shot several rounds at Lal from a close range and fled the spot.
Lal sustained four bullets and died by the time he was rushed to a hospital, police said.
