Two youths were arrested here on Tuesday for killing a 55-year-old Nepali man, police said. The youths wanted to kill the victim’s son over a feud but they killed the man when they were unable to locate him.
Shameem Khan, 22, who is from Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh, and Manoj, 20, from Azamgarh in UP, were arrested from IP Estate Park following a tip-off on Tuesday, said a police officer.
They had killed Padam Singh, who hails from Nepal, at Yamuna Khadar in Sarai Kale Khan on August 13.
