The Delhi Police Crime Branch has arrested two notorious criminals wanted in a murder case of Palam Vihar in Gurugram. Police said that one of the accused, Amit, got himself admitted in a

De-addiction Centre in Dwarka to evade his arrest. In May last year, the accused persons had thrashed to death the Finance Officer of Rotary Public School of Gurguram after a dispute with school management over admission of son of one of the accused, Bhupender Dalal. He was arrested earlier.

Bhisham Singh, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) said, “The arrested accused have been identified as Vinod (27) and Amit (22).”

Talking about the murder, the officer said that Bhupender Dalal, a property dealer, his ailing son was student of class five in a reputed school in Gurugram. Due to the kid’s ailment the school management did not promote him to next level and advised the father to get his son admitted in a school for special children.

“This triggered a dispute between Bhupender Dalal and the school management. Bhupender Dalal filed a complaint against the school to the District Collector of Gurugram., Tarun Kumar Pandey, Finance Officer of the school. He was tasked with pursuing the matter in District Collector office. Annoyed with this, Bhupender Dalal decided to teach a lesson to school authorities and called local goons from Najafgarh area to thrash Tarun Kumar. As per plan, on May 19, Sunny, Sunil, Vinod, Amit and Deepak intercepted Tarun Kumar’s car near his house and brutally thrashed him with iron rods and sticks and fled away.

Tarun Kumar was admitted in Columbia Hospital with broken hands and leg where he succumbed to injuries during treatment.

Bhupender Dalal, Deepak and Sunny were arrested by police while Vinod and Amit were absconding,”

Sleuths of the Inter-Border Gangs Investigation Squad of the Crime Branch received information that one of the accused in the said murder case had hidden himself in a De-addiction Centre in Dwarka. On this, a team under close supervision of ACP Jasbir Singh was formed to nab the accused.
