Property dispute: Brothers kill each other in Civil Lines

NEW DELHI: Two brothers who entered into a scuffle over a suspected property

dispute in Civil Lines shot each other with a single pistol in Delhi's Civil Lines on Sunday night.

The two victims, identified as Tanuj (27), Rahul (34), were rushed to a nearby hospital where the doctors declared both of them brought dead. "It is suspected that first Tanuj shot at his elder brother Rahul but in the close scuffle which followed, Tanuj too received a gunshot injury which proved fatal," said a senior police officer.

The incident was caught on a CCTV camera where the elder brother was seen

lying on the street outside the house after being shot, after which the younger brother fired another shot with a pistol and ran away.

There was no eyewitness during the incident but the whole episode got

captured in a CCTV, which proved as crucial evidence
