The incident dates to September 14 when the Narela police station was informed about a firing at Veer Properties at Gonda Road in Narela, said deputy commissioner of police (crime) Satish Kumar. Three people were found with gunshot wounds at the crime scene. Manish, the property dealer, was found dead on the scene while two injured men – Praveen and Kulbir Kalu – were taken to a nearby hospital where timely treatment saved their life. A case of firing and murder was registered bnased based on a complaint by Satbir Singh, who witnessed the crime.

“The victims and the assailants had a heated argument over the issue of payment of ₹20,000. The altercation escalated, leading to the accused physically assaulting and opening fire at the victims. Deepak and Ashish were arrested and sent to jail. Some suspects are still absconding,” said Kumar.

“Deepak and his brother Sahil are also property dealers. On the day of the crime, Deepak asked Sahil to come to Manish’s office. Sahil assaulted two people with sticks, including Manish. Deepak shot Manish, Praveen and Kulbir. Manish died while the other two survived. Sahil is a college dropout,” said DCP Kumar.
