A day after a 72-year-old property consultant was found robbed and murdered at his south Delhi residence, police today arrested five Nepalese nationals, including his domestic help for the crime.
Navraj, Harish Bahadur Khadait, Ranga Khadka, Padam Bahadur Khadka and Kamal Bahadur Budha, all hailing from Bajura district in Nepal, had robbed valuables and killed Vijay Sarin at his residence in Lajpat Nagar here, police alleged.
Sarin, who lived with domestic help Harish in the house as his daughter was residing at Dwarka after her marriage, was yesterday found lying on the floor with his hands and legs tied and mouth gagged, they said.
The house was ransacked and domestic help Harish was missing, they said.
During the probe, police questioned around 60 Nepalese nationals, working in the area as domestic helps, watchmen and car cleaners and later reached to a place at Naharpur in Rohini where Harish and his brother-in-law Ranga Khadka were arrested.
The accused confessed to their guilt and said that three other accomplices have gone to Anand Vihar Bus Terminal to catch a bus to Nepal, police said, adding that they too were nabbed subsequently from bus terminal.
Robbed articles, including victim's mobile phone, two expensive wrist watches and three earring studded with diamonds, have been recovered from them, they said.
