Arshad, the brother of the deceased and two contract killers, Adil and Sajjad, have been arrested.

"Arshad was jealous of his younger brother as he used to get a more preferential and favourable treatment. So he decided to murder Shahbad. Their father had been taking more interest in Shahbad's business. Shahdab was prosperous and his factory was running well, while Arshad's business was a failure," Sanjay Jain, DCP (northeast) said.
