Three held for murder of restaurant owner over delay in order

Three people have been arrested in connection with the murder of a restaurant owner in Greater Noida on Tuesday night, police said. Contrary to earlier claims, the police said that a Swiggy delivery agent was not among the three accused. The incident took place at Mitra Society in Greater Noida near Delhi. During a search operation, the police noticed three persons on a bike heading towards the Beta-2 area in Greater Noida. They were asked to stop, but instead they accelerated and drove the bike towards the University Road, the police said. "When we chased them, they opened fire on the police team. In the exchange of fire, one of them was injured who has been admitted to a hospital," said Additional Commissioner of Police (Greater Noida), Vishal Pandey. Two of them have confessed that they were involved in murder of the restaurant owner, identified as Sunil. "During interrogation, they told the police that on Tuesday, they got into a heated argument with the staff of the restaurant. Seeing the matter going out of control, Sunil came in support of his staff. But one of them pulled out his gun and fired on Sunil, causing his death," Pandey added.Open in app
