The police have arrested the duo under Section 307 (attempt to murder) of Indian Penal Code. "They started a heated argument with him when he raised an objection to Quincya's illicit relationship with Satveer. Later, they threw boiling oil on him and then tied his hands and legs with a rope and smeared red chilli powder on his face and eyes. They then started hammering his head with an intention to kill him," said senior inspector Rajendra Kamble from Manikpur police station.
