The police action was triggered by a call from the JPC Hospital to the Shastri Park Police Station around midnight on Wednesday. The hospital informed them about a man admitted with serious stab wounds. The victim, identified as 33-year-old Wasim, a resident of Buland Masjid in Shastri Park, was declared 'brought dead' by the attending doctors upon arrival.

Their initial probe revealed that the attack took place near the loop behind the DDA Park in Shastri Park. Through technical surveillance and local intelligence, the police zeroed in on two suspects.
The accused were identified as brothers Shakir (26) and Islam, also known as Border (22). Both are residents of the same locality, Buland Masjid in Shastri Park. The police conducted several raids across likely hideouts before successfully apprehending the siblings.
Confession and Recovery of Weapon
During sustained interrogation, the two brothers broke down and confessed to their involvement in the crime. They disclosed to the investigators that they had an ongoing prior dispute with the deceased, Wasim, which allegedly culminated in the violent confrontation.
