ASI Subash said that after appearing in the city court, Amit, Rahul and Sachin went to Dwarka to purchase liquor in a Verna car and returned to Daulatabad village.

“They purchased a 750 ml bottle of whisky from Dwarka and returned to Daulatabad. While drinking, the two had an altercation with Sachin and Amit allegedly shot him in the chest,” said ASI Subash.

“The suspects were produced in a city court Wednesday and sent to police custody,” said SHO Rohtash.
