The accused is a resident of Khaitan Ka Mohalla of Ward No. 44. On the day they were attacked, both Kuldeep and Naveen reached Swami's home to collect the installment but Swami called them to meet near a private bank on Rani Sati Road.
"There was a heated argument between the two sides when Swami filled a jug of hot oil from the wok of a nearby shop and poured it on the victims," said ASI Narendra Singh of Kotwali Police Station.
