Acting on the information, local police staff rushed to the spot and found that two ladies were shot dead.
The deceased have been identified as Pinky (30) and Jyoti (29). Their bodies have been shifted to SJ hospital.
"The assailants came for the victim's brother primarily.
Prima facie, it seems to be a money settlement issue," said police.
A case has been registered under relevant sections of IPC.
Meanwhile, police said that the accused involved in the crime have been arrested.
"Three people identified as Arjun, Michael and Dev have been arrested in connection with the murder of two women. Further probe is being done," news agency ANI quoted Manoj C, DCP South West, Delhi, as saying.
Delhi would've been safest had law and order been under AAP govt, says KejriwalDelhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said the national capital would have been the safest place had the law and order situation been under the AAP dispensation instead of the Lieutenant Governor.
"Our thoughts are with the families of the two women. May their souls rest in peace. The people of Delhi have started feeling quite insecure. Those who are responsible for handling the law and order situation in Delhi are hatching conspiracy to take control of Delhi government instead of fixing the situation," Kejriwal said in a tweet in Hindi.
"Had the law and order situation been under the AAP dispensation instead of the LG, Delhi would have been the safest," he added.
