2 arrested for killing business partner

New Delhi, July 10 

Two persons were arrested on Monday for allegedly killing their business partner in east Delhi’s Yamuna Vihar in January, said the police on Wednesday. 

The duo was identified as Kamaljeet Singh (44) and Sunil Malik (29). Both were carrying a reward of Rs 20,000 each in connection with the murder of Kamaljeet’s business partner Subhash Rawat, said the police. 

Kamaljeet and Malik were nabbed from the Johri Enclave Metro station area. The duo was also involved in 55 other cases including robbery and murder. 

The police said the two-wheeler and the pistol used to murder Rawat were also recovered from them. 

Interrogation revealed that Kamaljeet and Rawat were involved in the real estate business. “They were engaged in sale and purchase of disputed properties in the Trans Yamuna area for the last five years. With time, differences cropped up between them over sharing of profits,” said Manishi Chandra, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Special Cell. The police said Kamaljeeet thought Rawat had usurped Rs 1.5 crore from him. 

“When the matter could not be resolved amicably, Singh conspired with his brother Charanjeet Singh and his associates to kill Rawat,” the DCP said. 

Singh has been involved in a dispute with gangster Satyaprakash for the last four years. Kamaljeet along with his brother Charanjeet had been named “bad characters” by the Jafrabad police station. —PTI
