Three, including two minors, nabbed for murdering couple

A 19-year-old boy and two juveniles have been nabbed for murdering a man and his wife in southwest Delhi's Bijwasan area over a property dispute, police said today.
Sahil and the two juveniles were nabbed from Najafgarh yesterday, they said.
On November 14, two boys came to their house and sought to meet Sanjay Rana as they wanted rooms on rent. When Rana, who was suffering from paralysis, came out of the house with the assistance of his wife, they shot at the couple, said DCP (Southwest) Surender Kumar.
The accused then fled on two scooties along with two accomplices who were waiting outside the house, the officer said.

The couple were rushed to a hospital where Rana was declared brought dead, while his wife died during treatment, police said.
"During investigation, it was found that Rana had some dispute with a few people, including with some of his family members over the property where he was staying," Kumar said.

"Rana also owed one Rakesh Rs 20 lakh which he had not paid. A civil litigation is pending over this," he said, adding Rakesh is currently lodged in Tihar jail and was involved in two murder cases.
"Rakesh wanted to settle scores with Rana, who had neither handed him over the property they had agreed upon nor paid back Rs 20 lakh," Kumar said.

"Earlier, Rana didn't want to pay Rakesh. But, after demonetisation, he offered to pay him back the amount in demonetised banknotes. However, Rakesh insisted that Rana should pay him in new currency notes," another officer said.
"During questioning, Sahil and the two juveniles said Rakesh, who is the father of one of the juveniles, had masterminded the double murder from the jail and even helped the assailants procure firearms," Kumar said.
Sahil has studied up to class XII from a reputed school and was a national-level badminton player in the junior category, police said.
