Prayagraj: Police on Tuesday claimed to have arrested two out of five accused, identified as Rashid and his brother Salman, residents of Bongi village, on charges of killing their elderly maternal uncle over a petty dispute on Monday.
Incident Details
A 65-year-old man, Nisar Ahmad, was allegedly beaten to death by Guddu and his four brothers after a goat entered Nisar's house.
