Man Arrested for Alleged Murder of Brother-in-Law Near Burari Metro Station

Delhi Police arrested 30-year-old Jitender Kumar for allegedly murdering his brother-in-law, 37-year-old Raja Kumar, near Burari Metro Station. The incident followed a family dispute involving Jitender's wife, Sapna, who had been staying with her sister Babita. After Raja reportedly slapped Jitender during an argument on May 10, Jitender lured him to an isolated spot under the pretext of drinking and fatally attacked him with a stone. Raja's body was found on May 13, leading to a murder case and Jitender's arrest on May 14.
