In a shocking escalation of a family brawl, three brothers have been arrested by Delhi Police for the brutal murder of a man they allegedly beat over a dispute with one of their own siblings. The incident, which unfolded in the heart of the capital, highlights the dangers of unchecked rage turning deadly.
The crime occurred late last night in a crowded neighborhood of North Delhi. Eyewitnesses reported seeing the trio, identified as Rajesh Kumar (32), Manoj Kumar (28), and Vijay Kumar (25), all hailing from Bihar, savagely attacking the victim with sticks and sharp objects. The altercation reportedly began when the victim confronted one of the brothers over a minor disagreement that quickly spiraled out of control.
Local residents tried to intervene, but the ferocity of the assault left them helpless. The victim, whose identity is yet to be officially released pending family notification, succumbed to his injuries at a nearby hospital despite emergency efforts by medical teams.
Acting on a tip-off, Delhi Police launched a swift manhunt. The suspects fled towards Bihar immediately after the crime, abandoning their vehicle en route. A coordinated operation involving local police and interstate intelligence led to their capture in a remote village near Patna early this morning.
During interrogation, the brothers confessed to the killing, claiming it was in retaliation for the victim beating their younger brother earlier that day. Police recovered the murder weapons and blood-stained clothes from their hideout, strengthening the case against them.
This arrest underscores the effectiveness of modern policing in tracking fugitives across state lines. Authorities have charged the trio with murder under Section 302 of the IPC, along with other relevant sections. They are being brought back to Delhi for further proceedings.
The community remains rattled, with residents calling for stricter measures to prevent such violence. Police officials have assured the public of enhanced patrolling in vulnerable areas to restore calm.
