The incident took place on April 6 at Picnic Hut Park, where a boy was found dead. The case was registered at Bharat Nagar police station, and further investigation was taken up.
Revenge Motive Behind the Murder
Police said the crime was driven by revenge. Around two months before the incident, one of the accused had a quarrel at the same park and was assaulted and humiliated by a group.

After committing the crime, all three fled the spot.
Investigation and Apprehension
According to the police, the suspects were identified through CCTV footage analysis. The police team had received a tip-off that the duo would visit the area to collect money from an associate, following which a trap was laid, and they were apprehended near Mukarba Chowk flyover on Sunday.
"During questioning, the apprehended juveniles disclosed their involvement in the crime along with another associate, who is still at large," he added.
Further investigation is underway.
