The accused, identified as Danish (24) and Anas (23), evaded arrest for five months but were arrested from a madarsa at Hazrat Nizamuddin here today. They were carrying a reward of Rs 30,000 each on their heads.
‘We received information yesterday that both accused would be visiting the madarsa at Hazrat Nizamuddin in the morning.
‘The (accused) went to Lucknow and from there proceeded to Mewat, where they had remained in hiding. Today, they came from Mewat to visit the Marqas Madarsa and were nabbed,’ said a senior police official. Rehana, Aleem’s second wife, was found murdered on the morning of October 9 at her New Jafrabad residence in northeast Delhi. The MLA was outside the country at the time.
Although police managed to crack the murder mystery on 13 October with the arrest of their driver Mohd Nadeem, the two brothers had been at large since then.
‘Relations between Aleem and his first wife Kehkasha and her two sons, Danish and Anas, were not cordial. Aleem often used to have arguments with them over petty issues. The two sons (were unhappy) over a property learnt to be worth Rs 1 crore which was owned by Rehana in Delhi,’ said a police official. Danish and Anas held a personal grudge against Rehana as they felt Aleem did not love them and their mother because of her.
