While the prices of cooking gas and jet fuel were increased, petrol and diesel became marginally cheaper on Friday. Retail price of non-branded petrol in Delhi was reduced to Rs 78.29 per litre from Rs 78.35 per

litre. Non-branded diesel price was also reduced to Rs 69.20 per litre in the capital from Rs 69.25 per litre. The rates of petrol and diesel are revised on a daily basis, while a decision to revise the price of LPG and ATF is announced on the first day of every month.

The police said the trio from Chandigarh — Rohan (21), Sumit (22), and Mohit (19) — were dhol players by profession and had procured the weapons due to an old rivalry with local residents.
