New Delhi: All four accused involved in the murder of a 22-year-old youth in a park in Govindpuri were arrested on Sunday night.

The gang followed and ambushed them, and fled after the victim, Naresh, fell on the ground.
Surinder (31), also going by the name Soni, said that he had committed the murder because he wanted to gift gold jewellery to his wife for her birthday.

DCP (southeast) Chinmoy Biswal said that the weapons used for the murder and the robbed items have been retrieved from the accused.

Sanjay, one of the accused told the cops that he was a resident of Lucknow and had come to Delhi for a court appearance on January 9.
