Two persons have been arrested for killing a 34-year-old man at Geeta Colony here after a fight following collision of their vehicles. Police arrested Aftab (32) and Ramesh (33), both residents of Rani Garden, with help of sketches.

On Monday, Sushil Chauhan was driving back home when a scooter hit his car near Geeta Colony flyover, Meghna Yadav, DCP (Shahdara), said.

Chauhan came out of the car and an argument started. Aftab and Ramesh, who were riding the scooter, took out a gun and shot Chauhan. Another man of their group soon came on a motorcycle and also attacked Chauhan with a knife, police said. All three fled the spot.

A case was lodged and police asked witnesses about the description of those who attacked Chauhan.

Investigation revealed that a man was robbed of his bag and attacked with a knife in a nearby area just a while before the killing. Thus, after allegedly snatching the bag at Shakarpur, their vehicle collided with Chauhan's car.

When the description of the bag-snatcher matched with those involved in the killing, police prepared sketches. Officials suspected that local criminals could be involved and they checked over 40 of them. But only two were identified.

The third accused has been identified and police are trying to catch him. The vehicle involved in the incident has also been found.
