“After we gathered details and CCTV footage, we conducted several raids, arrested the seven suspects and seized both vehicles involved in the murder and attempt to murder. The suspects in the two vehicles were performing stunts..," the official said.

The accused were produced in a city court that remanded them to judicial custody.

Officials said Saurabh, Mukul Soni and Luv work with a travel agency. Rahul works in a private company. Mohit is a computer operator at the additional deputy commissioner's office.

Ravi and Vikas are brothers.

During the questioning, it was revealed that the incident happened after an altercation broke out between two groups at an eatery, close to the liquor store. They created a ruckus in the area for a while and left the spot. However, hoping to seek revenge, the group in the Ertigas returned to the spot with the intention to kill the two liquor store employees, believing they were part of the other group.

One of the injured Annu Kumar Gupta said he worked at a liquor shop near the accident site.

"The one driving Ertiga rammed into me and Sushil. There was another man on the road and he got killed in the accident," Gupta said in his complaint.

Preet Pal Sangwan, assistant commissioner of police (crime), said “We have recorded their statements and they said that the two groups started performing stunts with their vehicles. Then one of the vehicles rammed into them while others had already fled. We have procured CCTV footage from the liquor store and are checking CCTV cameras in nearby areas to identify the second group."
