New Delhi: A 25-year-old man's head was smashed with a brick in Outer North Delhi's Narela area for demanding the repayment of Rs 100 that the accused borrowed from him, police said on Monday.
The incident occurred on February 15 and the accused Aman has been arrested, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outernorth) Nidhin Valsan said.
A PCR call about the body was received at Narela Police Station. Teams were immediately sent to the spot and further investigation was launched after registering an FIR.
"The body was found behind the rice mill in Vishal Bagh. Initially, teams could not identify the body, which led to a door-to-door drive for the identification," the DCP said, adding the deceased was identified after two days of the investigation.
The deceased has been identified as Bunty, a resident of Dada Mai colony in Bankner.
Valsan said the police reviewed 140 CCTV cameras and traced the movement of the accused. Despite the accused trying to avoid detection by not using a mobile phone, he was nabbed.
During interrogation, the accused disclosed that the altercation stemmed from his refusal to repay Rs 100, leading to the murder. He revealed that he made Bunty unconscious by making him drunk and smashed his head with a brick, the police officer said.
Further investigation into the matter is underway, he added.

No 'bacterial infection' found in bodies of 4 Mumbai family members who died after eating watermelon
Mumbai (PTI): The initial report submitted by the microbiology department of a Mumbai-based state-run hospital has said no "bacterial infection" was detected in the bodies of four family members, who died after consuming watermelon recently, officials said on Wednesday.
The Dokadia family, residents of Ghari Mohalla on Ismail Kurte Road, had hosted a get-together of relatives on the night of April 25. At around 1 am (on April 26), hours after the guests had left, Abdullah Dokadia (40), his wife Nasreen (35), and daughters Ayesha (16) and Zaineb (13) ate pieces of a watermelon.
They suffered severe bouts of vomiting and diarrhoea in the early hours of April 26 and were rushed to a local hospital before being referred to the government-run J J Hospital where all four died during treatment.
After the incident, Mumbai police, forensic experts and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials visited the house and had collected samples of every food item that constituted the family's last meal, including 'chicken pulav', watermelon, water, and other foodstuffs, and sent them to the Forensic Science Laboratory for analysis.
After the post-mortem of the deceased, their viscera was preserved for chemical analysis.
As the probe is underway, the microbiology department of the state-run J J Hospital has submitted its initial report to the police.
"As per the report, no bacterial infection has been detected so far in the bodies of the victims. No bacteria was found in their blood," the official said.
The exact cause of the death will be known once the forensic science lab submits its report, he said.
"The report will also clarify whether any food items consumed by the family members during the day contained anything poisonous," the official said.
