Ghaziabad Dhaba Killings: Owner Arrested, Two Staffers Caught After Encounter

Investigators are pursuing remaining suspects after two fatal stabbings linked to a food-service dispute.

Overview

  • Police say a late-night quarrel over delayed service at Vaishno Dhaba in Khoda around 10 pm Friday escalated after a staffer was slapped.
  • The deceased were identified as Shreepal and Satyam, residents of Nehru Vihar in Khoda, while their friend Anurag remains under treatment.
  • An FIR names owner Dharmendra and four workers under charges including murder and attempt to murder, based on a complaint from a victim’s family.
  • Dharmendra was arrested on Sunday; later that night, staffers Rajan and Sachin were detained after an encounter in which police say the duo opened fire, with both shot in the legs and hospitalised.
  • Officers have secured CCTV footage, recovered two country-made pistols and a stolen motorcycle, and are searching for additional accused identified in the probe.
