In a shocking incident that has sent ripples through the capital, Delhi Police have apprehended two individuals for the alleged murder of their friend, whose body was discovered in Outer Delhi's Munak Canal. The gruesome crime, driven by a personal dispute, came to light earlier this week.
A Grisly Discovery in the Canal
The case unfolded on Monday when police control room (PCR) officials received a distressing call about a body seen floating in the waters of the Munak Canal. Responding swiftly, a police team reached the location and retrieved the deceased. Upon examination, they made a horrifying discovery: the victim's limbs were tied together using shoelaces, and a handkerchief was tightly bound around his neck, pointing towards a deliberate and violent act.
The Victim and the Motive
The deceased was swiftly identified as Ankit, an 18-year-old resident of the Sadar Bazar area. Through intensive investigation, the police pieced together a motive rooted in a personal relationship. It was revealed that Ankit was in a relationship with the sister of one of the accused men's cousins. This connection allegedly became the flashpoint for the fatal conflict.

Acting on gathered intelligence and evidence from the scene, the police team zeroed in on the suspects. Two men, believed to be Ankit's friends, were subsequently arrested for their alleged involvement in his murder and the subsequent disposal of his body in the canal.
