Bengaluru: In a tragic incident reported at the Pulakeshinagar police station, a man stabbed his elder brother to death with a knife following a heated argument. The motive behind the shocking act was attributed to the victim’s alleged habit of creating noise at home after consuming alcohol.
The deceased has been identified as Karthik (30), a resident of Doddagunte. Following the crime, the Pulikeshinagar police successfully apprehended the brother of the deceased, Vijay, who had fled the scene after committing the act.
According to the police, Vijay had been summoned to his brother’s house by his sister-in-law. An argument ensued between the two brothers, and the situation quickly escalated, culminating in the tragic murder.
Karthik resided in Doddagunte with his wife, Sandhya, while Vijay lived separately. Both brothers were engaged in various small jobs to make ends meet. However, Karthik’s excessive drinking and subsequent disturbance at home had led to growing resentment, particularly between him and his wife.
Unable to endure her husband’s angry outbursts any longer, Sandhya contacted Vijay and requested his assistance in addressing the issue. Vijay obliged and went to his elder brother’s residence. The police revealed that a heated altercation broke out between the brothers, tragically resulting in Karthik’s murder.
The Pulakeshinagar police are further investigating the case.
