On October 25, 2017, the police received a call regarding gunshot injury to a man at Malikpur village in Jafarpur Kalan area, Anto Alphonse, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka) said. After reaching the spot, it was found that Sachin was taken to a hospital as he sustained gunshot injury after being allegedly assault by a few persons of the same village," he said.
Sachin's father Hansraj filed a complaint stating that four persons -- Naresh Pandit, his son Vikas, Ankit Khotia and Anil -- had assaulted his son. The victim later succumbed during the treatment, he said.
"On Monday, police received information that two men, involved in a murder case at Jafarpur in 2017, were seen near Jhuljhuli Mod, Ghummanhera, following which police laid a trap and arrested two persons on Monday around 8:50 pm," Alphonse added.
During interrogation, Kumar revealed that he was earlier arrested under the Arms Act in 2000. Later, Vikas stated that he was fond of guns and wanted to establish his supremacy in the area, he said. On the day of the incident, he was going with his father in a car and had stopped in the village to talk with a person- Chap Singh.
