Two round hit Menocha, one on the head, the other on the back. A bullet grazed Kumar as well. “On Sunday, they went to collect to collect Rs 10 lakh from the car dealer and left after an argument. They were attacked on the stretch between Buddha Garden and Dhaula Kuan,” the officer said.

Menocha was a resident of Mehrauli and a son of a plastic frames manufacturing unit owner. “His friend is a financer and he had to get money from a person in Karol Bagh. Ankit had nothing to do with it,” said Raju Arora, one of Ankit’s family friends.
