The accused were arrested from different hideouts, police said.

The prime accused, Nikhil, along with the other accused, stabbed his neighbour Tanish Kwatra, 23, following a brawl with him earlier in the day over a petty issue, police said.

"At the time of the incident, another person Pawan, 21, also suffered stab wounds. Later, both were declared dead in a hospital," Deputy Commissioner of Police Aslam Khan said.

The fight started after Kwatra's scooty accidentally hit Nikhil, resulting in a heated argument. Kwatra called his friends and beat up Nikhil who in turn collected his friends to take revenge.

Police said the accused will be produced before a city court on Thursday.
