The deceased in this case was the father and uncle of two men wanted in the gruesome murder of four youth on New Year's eve who were first shot dead and their bodies taken to Haryana where they were set on fire.
The accused, identified as Sagar, Sunil alias Sabha, Vipin Sehrawat and Rohit alias Abhimanyu were arrested by the Special Cell of Delhi Police.
Police however clarified that those arrested in this case have no connection with the murder of former INLD MLA Bharat Singh who was gunned down on Sunday in Najafgarh at a banquet hall.
Police soon realised that this murder was the fallout of the ongoing rivalry of a gang war in the area as Gopal and Ravinder had allegedly shot dead four youths of the Naveen Khati gang and then burnt their bodies after taking them to Jhajjar in Haryana on January 1.

"Out of those arrested, Sagar and Sunil are involved in the murder of Rohtash while the weapon of offence has been recovered from Vipin. At this moment the involvement of Rohit in the murder case has not been established. The same is under investigation," said DCP (Special Cell) Sanjeev Kumar Yadav.
According to the police, Naveen Khati and Ravinder, both residents of Mitrau village were involved in a fight over supremacy in the area.
Khati is currently lodged in Tihar jail and had tasked his henchmen of eliminating Rohtash.
