A man was allegedly brutally murdered by his elder brother in front of their family fancy shop at Spring Road in the Old Town area under Two Town Police Station limits, here on Monday afternoon.
The deceased was identified as Anand Suri alias Sunny and the accused was his elder brother Mahendra Singh Suri. They belong to the Sindhi community, said DCP T. Ravi Kumar Murthy.
According to the DCP, the victim was separated from the family by the family members a few years ago for his wayward nature and vices and also for marrying a girl from a minority community. The victim reportedly would frequently visit his elder brother’s shop and demand money and pick up quarrel. On Monday, unable to bear the harassment, the elder brother slit Anand’s throat with a knife and he died on the spot. The mother of the siblings claimed that the victim had himself slit his throat. But based on a CC TVfootage it was confirmed that Mahendra slit the throat of his brother, said Mr. Ravi Kumar Murthy.
