BAGHPAT: A man named Yashveer (32), son of Ishwar, was allegedly killed by his brothers for marrying the widow of their eldest sibling in Bhagpat, according to the police.
The incident was reported on Friday night when the police received a call about a man being shot dead.
Additional Superintendent of Police Baghpat NP Singh stated that during the initial investigation, it was discovered that Yashveer was killed by his elder brothers.
Ishwar had four sons – Sukhveer, Omveer, Udayveer, and Yashveer. After Sukhveer passed away last year, his wife Ritu married his younger brother Yashveer.
The marriage between Yashveer and Ritu did not sit well with the other brothers, leading to frequent quarrels within the family, as per the ASP.
On Friday night, when Yashveer, a bus driver in Delhi, returned home after duty, Omveer and Udayveer, who were in an inebriated state, argued with their mother. The argument escalated, and they shot Yashveer dead.
The police have arrested Udayveer and Omveer, and further investigation is underway, the ASP added.
