The accused has been identified as Sonu, who was hired as a staff at the dhaba. According to police the man who hailed from Muzaffarpur in Bihar had committed the murders as he was angry with Anuj who had apparently scolded him.
Sonu allegedly murderd Anuj and Raunak by slitting their throats, police said.
According to police, they received a PCR call informing them about the incident.
As a police team reached the spot, they found the dhaba locked from inside. On entering the dhaba, they found Anuj and Raunak lying in a pool of blood with their throats slit.
Sonu was hired by Anuj in early October, but he was beaten once by Anuj over some issue, after which he developed a feeling of anger towards the owner, police said.
