Delhi riots probe made further headway on Saturday with the arrest of five more people in connection with the murder of Intelligence Bureau staffer Ankit Sharma during the riots, said police officials.
Delhi police had arrested one person for Sharma’s murder on Thursday.
Those arrested have been identified as Firoz, Javed, Gulfam, Shoyaib and Anas.
Sharma was allegedly stabbed multiple times and his body was found in a drain near his home in northeast Delhi’s Chand Bagh area on February 27, a day after he had gone missing after Delhi riots broke out.
A man named Salman, also known as Nanhe, was arrested on Thursday for Sharma’s murder.
