Less than 24 hours after a Rewari resident was shot dead, the Haryana police claim to have solved the case by arresting two people on Sunday.

Jorawar alias Habida, a resident of Majra village, and Neeraj, a resident of Kundal village, were held along with two pistol and six cartridges, police said.

The two allegedly wanted to strike a contract deal with the deceased, Vikas, who was engaged by LMT Company to lay earth on the railway line from Majra to Kathuwas village.
