They were arrested in wake of evidence that 22-year-old Singh, an MBA student from Ghaziabad, was allegedly gunned down by Uttarakhand Police after being caught at Mohini Road where he and his companions were allegedly trying to commit some crime on July 3, 2009.

The case was transferred to Delhi by the Supreme Court on the plea of Ranbir's father Ravindra Singh.
