Gurugram: Police have nabbed five more people in connection with stabbing a senior executive of an EV company at a food stall in Faridabad following an altercation over a burger order, an officer said on Thursday.
Police said one of the suspects, Tarun alias Naveen, 28, a resident of Faridabad’s Uncha village, was held following an exchange of fire around 2 am on Thursday at a Municipal Corporation of Faridabad gowdown in Sector 62. Police arrested his associate, Jatin, 26, after a chase at the spot. Police said Lakshman Singh, 45, a Shahpura resident, was stabbed to death by suspects and his nephew Mahesh Singh, 43, was critically injured at Dealer Chowk around 10.30 pm on Sunday.
He was injured in the encounter and admitted to a hospital, and a country-made pistol and two live cartridges were recovered from his possession, police said. Following disclosures from Tarun and Jatin, police said they arrested three other suspects, Rinku Singh, Anup and Rajiv Kumar, all in their mid-20s, from different locations. “An argument broke out between Rinku and Lakshman as Rinku had served others who had arrived after Lakshman,” the ACP said. Police said the argument snowballed and Rinku roped in his associates while Lakshman alerted his cousins.
The arrest comes three days after suspects Prashant, Naman and Akash Kumar were arrested on Monday in connection with the murder. Police said, Lakshman visited Rinku’s eatery on Sunday to get a burger packed for himself.
