Joint Commissioner of Police (South Western) Deependra Pathak today rubbished rumours that Bangladeshi immigrants were involved in the brutal attack on a 42-year-old dentist in Vikaspuri and said that the people should refrain from mischief mongering.
"Rumour is bereft of truth; the people should refrain from mischief mongering. It is definitely a very unfortunate incident. All four juvenile have been apprehended and the five accused have been arrested," Pathak told the media here.
"We have arrested five adults namely Gopal Singh, Naseer Khan, Amir, Aameer and a woman named Mayassar... We are conducting further investigation," he added.
Responding to a poser on whether the accused are Bangladeshis, he said that all of them are from Uttar Pradesh.
In a case of rage, the dentist was beaten to death in front of his family by about a dozen people in west Delhi's Vikaspuri area on Wednesday night.
The victim, Pankaj Narang, lived with his wife and two children at New Krishna Park in Vikaspuri.
