Two individuals were fatally shot in a hair salon in the Najafgarh area of southwest Delhi, according to the police.
The victims were identified as Sonu and Ashish who were both in their early thirties and were shot several times in the presence of other customers and salon staff.
The police have identified both the attackers and they were suspected to have been involved in a dispute over a social media post.
Reportedly the names of the two accused are Sanjeev Dahiya alias Sanju and Harsh alias Chintu.
Further probe has also revealed that the victims had gone to the salon for a hair cut.

A supposed video from a security camera showing the event appeared on social media. In the video, one of the victims is seen begging the attackers.
He was shot in the head at close range.
Police said while Sonu was shot in the head once, Ashish received three bullet injuries in his head and one in his chest.
A police official told media that prima facie the case appears to be of personal enmity that started over an abusive social media post.
But the exact reason behind the blood bath will be ascertained once the accused are arrested.
