"On July 5, information was received at Kotwali police station regarding a murder near Old Delhi Railway Station. A team identified the deceased as Gaurav Thakur, a vendor who sold water to local stalls," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) M K Meena.

An FIR for murder was subsequently filed, and the investigation commenced with two teams checking 30 to 35 CCTV cameras. Thakur was last seen with Chandarpal, Vinay, and Ombir on July 4. Their phones were found switched off when checked," Meena explained.

The trio were eventually nabbed on Sunday from Seemapuri in Delhi and Sahibabad in Uttar Pradesh. Police revealed that Thakur had borrowed Rs 2.5 lakh from Chandarpal Bhati and failed to return it. Chandarpal, with Ombir and Vinay, had lured Thakur for drinks, where Chandarpal shot him in the neck and fled. Two country-made pistols and a car were recovered from the suspects.
