The police have arrested one person for the alleged murder of the 44-year-old <g data-gr-id="43">courier-service</g> entrepreneur outside his office near New Delhi’s Connaught Place on May 19 night, the police said on Thursday.

The <g data-gr-id="32">accused in this case</g> have been identified as Sunny Saiman, alias Babe, Saurav, Satish and Babu. While Babe has been arrested by the cops, the others still remain at large. However, the police are yet to ascertain the motive behind the alleged murder.

At the time of the murder, Biju <g data-gr-id="39">Vargeesh</g>, the slain businessman, was outside stall number 42 at Shankar Market and was returning home. Sunny, along with three of his other aides, caught him and assaulted him with an intention to kill him, confessed Sunny, when the police arrested him and interrogated him.

Sunny was apparently having a tussle with the deceased and wanted to kill him. 

On May 19, Sunny approached Biju along with Saurav, Satish and Babu — the three other accused in the case. 

On interrogating Sunny, he also confessed that while his friends caught Biju, he punched him and kicked him. On finding him still alive, Sunny banged his helmet on Biju’s head following which the latter slumped to the ground.

The police had no information except the narration of the incident by one <g data-gr-id="36">eye witness</g>. A case was registered against unknown people and <g data-gr-id="34">investigation</g> was been carried out. On receiving a special <g data-gr-id="38">tip off</g> about Sunny’s arrival at <g data-gr-id="37">Sujarmal</g> Park in Vivek Vihar, the police laid a trap and nabbed Sunny, said Ajay Kumar, Deputy Commissioner of Police, East Delhi.

The other three accused — Saurav, Satish and Babu are still on the run and are yet to be arrested. According to sources, Sunny has mentioned the whereabouts of the other three accused and the police are conducting raids in the said places to arrest them.
