Nai Mandi in-charge said, Rohit has been arrested. The weapons used in the murder will be recovered on his information. Rohit was alone in the house at the time of the incident.

I forgot friendship after seeing the money...

Dharmendra and Rohit were good friends and stood by each other in good and bad times. They used to help each other financially when needed, but Rohit was blinded by the amount of Rs 3.64 lakh that Dharmendra had. He did not even think that the person he was going to kill was his best friend.

After Rohit's arrest, the police is also investigating whether any member of Rohit's family was involved in the crime. Those who worked with Dharmendra said that the two were often seen together. After Dharmendra's death, his wife and his family members are inconsolable.
