Delhi Police crack 27-year-old revenge plot behind fatal accidents

A man named Deepak was hurt in a car accident, and two weeks later he was hit again and sadly died.

Police thought something was wrong because there were many tyre marks, as if the car had been driven over him again and again.

They found it was not just an accident but a planned revenge.

The trouble began 27 years ago when Deepak supposedly upset another man's sister.

A fight happened back then, but the anger lasted for many years.

The other man, Pawan, and his friend Sagar decided to get revenge.

They tried to hurt Deepak once in July, and the second time the plan worked.

Police arrested five people who helped with the plan.

The main person hid in many places but was finally caught.
