Two youths were arrested for allegedly murdering an elderly woman, the mother of a prominent lawyer who is fighting for the Talwar family in the Aarushi murder case, police said today.

The arrested have been identified as Samir Khan, 20, and Imran, 21, alias "Murgi Chor" (poultry thief). They allegedly murdered Anna Mammen at her residence in Vivek Vihar on Tuesday and fled with cash and articles from her house.

Mammen's daughter Rebecca Mammen is the lawyer of Rajesh and Nupur Talwar in the case of murder of their daughter Aarushi and their domestic help Hemraj.

"More than hundred persons were questioned during the course of investigation in the last three days. A massive hunt was also launched for verification of recorded robbers and active criminals who could possibly be involved in this brutal murder," BK Gupta, Delhi police commissioner said.

The arrests came following inputs that a "robber" in Mayur Vihar has been spending a lot of money in the past two day and was also seen moving around on a brand new motorcycle.

Khan was detained and during interrogation, he confessed to the crime and disclosed the involvement of his associate Imram who was arrested, police said.

"Imran had done a job of white-washing at the house of Mammen two months ago and it was during  that time he made up his mind to rob the woman finding her quite vulnerable and an easy target," a senior police official said.

Police recovered four stolen gold bangles, one two gold ring, two gold chain, two gold biscuits, one gold locket and a motorcycle purchased from the robbed cash and Rs81,000 from their possession.

During interrogation, Imran disclosed that robbed cash amounting to Rs50,000 was lost in gambling.
