The bike which was used in crime was also recovered, they said. Sehgal, who was attacked at his home, had received a threat from Goldy Barar, a gangster, over a Whatsapp call which was reportedly made from Canada.

Barar had asked Sehgal to give him 50 per cent stake in his liquor business, police said. The firing was captured in CCTV cameras installed at Sehgal’s house. Police identified the accused from the CCTV footage, and arrested them from Delhi’s posh Connaught Place area, police said.
