NEW DELHI: A 26-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly opening a fire in his cousin, critically lounced him, and killed his husband a week ago in the alleged murder case in Dwarka, police said on Wednesday.
The defendant has been identified as Vicky, they said.
The shooting took place on the night of June 24 in rented accommodation couples at the Ambarhai Village of Dwarka Sector-23.
Vinay Dahiya (23) died after being shot four times, while Kiran Dahiya (19) received a wound on his neck and was undergoing treatment.
The police have suspected that it might be a case of honor.

The court has crossed the direction to the Sonipat police for the safety of the couple.
