Teen shoots brother for slapping him during tiff

Victim disliked him talking to former’s sister-in-law

A 19-year-old boy has been apprehended for allegedly killing his elder brother for slapping him in north-east Delhi’s Shiv Vihar. A senior police officer said that the accused has been identified as Prashant, who works at a shop, and the victim is his 22-year-old brother Prem Shankar, who was studying in Delhi University’s School of Open Learning. The police said that Prem got married a little over a month ago. Prashant used to talk to Prem’s wife’s sister, which he objected to. “Prem never liked his brother talking to his sister-in-law and he had told Prashant about it. However, the latter never agreed. On June 26 night, Prem found Prashant talking to her again to which he objected. It led to an argument,” said the officer.
