Bawana man killed over property dispute; accused arrested
A 24-year-old man was arrested by Delhi Police in connection with a murder that took place earlier this month in outer north Delhi’s Bawana area. The accused, identified as Yogi alias Devraj Dabas, is a resident of Pooth Khurd village.
Police said the incident occurred on March 8 near Raj Vatika, where the victim, Bhupender alias Bholu (24), was allegedly shot dead. According to officials, a PCR call alerted them about a man being shot at the location. When the police team arrived, they found Bhupender lying unconscious near a scooter with a gunshot injury.
He was immediately taken to a nearby hospital, but doctors declared him dead on arrival. A case was registered soon after, and an investigation was launched.
During the probe, police gathered information about the movement of one of the suspects. Acting on this input, a team set up a trap and arrested Yogi from the Chhawla bus stand in the Najafgarh area on Saturday.
During questioning, the accused reportedly revealed that he, along with his associates Nikhil, Sumit and a juvenile, had confronted Bhupender near Raj Vatika. Police said that Yogi and Nikhil allegedly opened fire on the victim due to an ongoing dispute over property.
Officials added that the juvenile involved has already been apprehended, while another accused, Sumit, is still absconding. Efforts are ongoing to locate and arrest him.
