Two persons have been arrested for killing Bahujan Samaj Party panchayat member and builder from Uttar Pradesh in South-East Delhi's Jamia Nagar area on Monday evening. The accused wanted to take revenge from the deceased who had earlier tried to kill his friend. The murder was also a fall-out of constant rivalry between them in order to establish supremacy in the area.

The accused have been identified as Fahad Khan alias Gola (18) and Farhan Ansari (19). The deceased Dilshad Khan resided in the Joga Bai Extension in Jamia Nagar. After Khan's death people of the area staged a protest and demanded immediate arrest of the accused, the police said.

"Shadab, the friend of the two accused was attacked by Dilshad earlier and a case of attempt to murder was also registered against him. The two accused in the present case are relative and friend of the victim Shadab. Both sides were rivals and wanted to establish supremacy in terms of plot occupation matters in the Jamia Nagar area," said a senior police official.

Dilshad had a previous criminal record and had three cases registered against him. He was arrested as well in the case and was out on bail on August 24.

According to the relatives of the deceased, he had received a call in the evening asking him to come to a specific place. He left his house around 5 pm and had gone only a few kilometres in the area when two persons, who were wearing helmets and were on foot, fired four rounds at him and fled the crime scene. 

The police were informed about the incident at 6.05 pm, following which Dilshad was rushed to Holy Family Hospital where he died during the course of treatment.

Khan is survived by wife, an eight-year-old daughter, two sons, aged seven years and seven months, respectively. He was involved in real estate business in Okhla and was also related to a BSP councillor from Meerut.
