Two days after the cold-blooded murder of a 20-year-old man at Raghuveer Park area in Haibowal, police on Friday arrested two persons, including a minor, in connection with the case.
According to the police, one of the accused used to harass the minor sister of a friend of the victim. When the victim and his friend confronted the accused, he stabbed the victim to death.
The accused has been identified as Dinesh Kumar alias Danish alias Nonu, 22, of Prem Vihar of Jassian, while his aide is 17-year-old boy. They were arrested near Hussainpur T-point in Laddian. The accused were trying to escape to avoid police.

The JCP added that Danish used to harass the minor sister of one of the friends of the victim Rahul, 20, of Haibowal. Rahul and his friend had deterred the accused.
On November 22, the two friends had gone to an eatery at Raghuveer Park to have some snacks. When they were waiting for their orders, the accused came there on a bike.
“Rahul and his friend warned Danish for harassing the girl following which the accused flashed a sharp-edged weapon they were already carrying and stabbed Rahul to death.
