Agartala: Two brothers died after a late-night fight linked to a long-running family feud in Fultali village in Tripura’s Unakoti district, police said. The incident took place on Friday night in Kailashahar. The deceased were identified as Nilabdha Sinha and Mayur Chand Sinha, who lived in the same house.
According to sources, the brothers had been in dispute over family matters for an extended period, and the argument escalated into violence. During the quarrel, Mayur Chand Sinha allegedly attacked his elder brother, Nilabdha Sinha, with a sharp-edged weapon, stabbing him in the abdomen. Nilabdha collapsed at the spot with critical injuries.
Police said Mayur Chand Sinha then collapsed moments later near his brother’s body and died under mysterious circumstances. The exact cause of Mayur’s death remains undetermined and is currently under investigation.
Police have launched an investigation, collecting forensic and circumstantial evidence to reconstruct the sequence of events and determine Mayur’s cause of death. Officials said Nilabdha’s death appeared to be caused by the stabbing, while Mayur’s would be confirmed after further examination.
