As per the initial probe, police said the two boys were enraged by the man, who reportedly regularly bullied them and took money from them to buy liquor. They decided to kill him when he snatched money their families had gifted for Diwali, a senior police officer said.

Through local enquiry, the deceased was identified as Sonu alias Kancha, a 35-year-old who had been living in Delhi for the past few months. A case of murder was registered at the police station, and investigation was taken up.
