The accused were apprehended by police on Friday in Najafgarh area.

The driver, identified as Kuldeep, reportedly got into an argument with the teens as soon as they began their journey on Wednesday evening.

Based on the personal details of the passengers revealed by Uber, Delhi Police cracked them down on Friday afternoon.

A preliminary probe suggests that the murder took place after a heated argument between them and the driver over the fare. The driver was shot in the head and chest. The duo then dumped the driver’s body at a secluded place and fled. The police zeroed in on and tracked them down with the help of the online booking software.

The driver was affiliated to both Uber and Ola cab aggregator services.

An hour later, a passerby noticed the abandoned car with blood streaming out of it and informed the police.

Uber in a statement later said, “Our thoughts are with the family of our driver-partner, the victim of this mindless violence. We have pro-actively shared details with the police to assist them with their investigation.”
