Police said Chiggu was murdered late on Friday night. All three suspects had been apprehended by Saturday afternoon and the knife used to kill Chiggu recovered from them,deputy commissioner of police (southeast) RP Meena said.

DCP Meena said the incident came to light at around 9am on Saturday, when Chiggu’s wife, Kajal, informed the police that her husband was missing. “Chiggu was a history sheeter and was involved in as many as 17 cases,” Meena said, adding that a murder case has been registered at the Hazrat Nizamuddin police station and investigations taken up.
