We recovered the bike used during the murder on Saturday. Apart from the murder, they also admitted that they shot dead a chaat vendor near old bus stand in a case of road rage after the vendor denied them food as they were drunk and misbehaving,” Rajesh Kumar, officiating
superintendent of police (city), said.

A car stolen from Rajasthan was also recovered from their possession. They changed the registration number of the car, police said.

“He said he was driving the car when the murder took place and Dujana was also in the car. He said that an AK-47 was used for the murder after Dujana was denied Rs. 5 crore hafta (extortion money) by a trader. Yogesh had also been to jail thrice and has a dozen cases of various heinous crimes against him,” Kumar said
