Delhi Police have arrested four men in connection with the murders of two brothers-in-law, who were found dead on consecutive days last week in separate locations of northeast Delhi, officials said on Sunday.
A senior officer stated that the deaths were linked to an altercation that escalated during a family gathering.
The first victim, 33-year-old Raji Ahmed, was found dead on Monday in Khajuri Khas. A day later, 37-year-old Shami Alam was discovered in a locked kitchen in Dayalpur.
Investigations revealed that both men, related by marriage, had clashed over a loan during a drunken party at a rented residence in Dayalpur.
Police scanned CCTV footage and conducted extensive fieldwork, which led to the identification and arrest of the suspects.
Four men, hailing from Uttar Pradesh and Delhi, were ultimately taken into custody. Initially, two suspects were detained, and their interrogation revealed the involvement of two more accomplices.
The accused are currently in police custody, and further investigation is underway, the officer added.
