Excessive obsession for a girl and a streak of jealousy have led a 'mad lover' to the police net.

Police here arrested an Indian national residing in Bouddha for allegedly killing a fellow Indian for falling for the same girl.

A team of police from the Metropolitan Police Crime Division on Friday arrested Ranjit Sharma, 22, from Motihari in India for allegedly killing Montu Sharma, 20, last night.

Investigation reveals that the alleged killed Montu using a sharp lethal weapon while both were sleeping in BM Furniture at Tusal, Bouddha.

It has been further revealed that both, Ranjit and Montu, took fancy on the same girl. After getting a whiff about Ranjit's soft spot for the girl he too was head over heels for, Montu had warned Ranjit to give up on the girl.

Arrested Ranjit admitted to police that he killed Montu in a fit of rage.

The alleged and the deceased were childhood friends and Ranjit had been working in the furniture shop run by the deceased's father, the police said.

The police team has sent the alleged to the Metropolis Police Circle for the further legal recourse.
