Both suspects were apprehended from hospital as they were undergoing treatment there for injuries after being beaten by the public. They had enmity over trivial issues, he said.
The official said both have been previously involved in criminal activities. Sahil was involved in three cases including one under Arms Act while Rahul was involved in two cases, all registered at the Sangam Vihar police station.
Reacting to the incident, AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal attributed it to the failure of Union Home Minister Amit Shah to maintain law and order in Delhi. In a post on X, Kejriwal posted, “Amit Shah ji, please stop this. What have you people done to Delhi? Do something? Prime Minister, if Amit Shah is not able to do it then give us a capable Home Minister who can provide security to the people of Delhi.”
