A 21-year-old man was arrested for his alleged involvement in the killing of a school principal and her brother over a property dispute, police said on Sunday. The accused, Ranjeet, had hoped to get married with his girlfriend with the money he was promised by the main accused for the killings, they said.

On March 5, Anita Yadav was shot dead in Ghummanhera in Najafgarh. Her husband had alleged that she was killed by his neighbour Naveen with the help of his associates due to a property dispute over six bigha land in Ghummanhera village, police said. Yadav had purchased the land along with Naveen's wife. Later, Naveen had started pressurising Yadav to transfer the land to him, but was reluctant to pay any money, they added. As the victim did not accept Naveen's demand, he hatched a plan to kill her.
