New Delhi: Two men have been arrested for allegedly robbing and killing a Delhi Jal Board (DJB) employee at the office of his son in Rohini, the police said today.
Babu Ram Yadav (48), who worked as a section officer at the DJB office in west Delhi’s Paschim Vihar, was killed on August 2.
Police yesterday arrested Amit Rathi (24), who is an employee of Yadav’s son. He led policemen to his accomplice Rahul Bhatia (24).
The police said they scanned CCTV footages, in which the accused were seen entering Yadav’s son’s office while he was present there.

Jagdeep is on the run and a search has been launched to nab him, the officer said.
