On April 4, after receiving information about the incident in Mohan Garden, a team rushed to the spot and found Devender Kumar, 50 and his brother Amit, 48, lying dead inside a ransacked room, with liquor bottles scattered around, a senior police officer said.
The crime team and forensic experts examined the scene and collected evidence, police said, adding that the bodies were sent for postmortem.
According to the police, the autopsy revealed that both men died due to internal injuries caused by a physical assault.
"During the investigation, it emerged that Kumar, who worked with the Employees' State Insurance Corporation, had recently moved into the rented accommodation along with his brother and son," police said.
The landlord told police that on the night of April 3, after being informed about a quarrel at the house, he reached the scene. Ishwar, who appeared to be intoxicated, opened the door, and after pacifying him, he returned home.
Later, he was informed that Kumar had been killed, and upon reaching the house again, he found both brothers lying dead.
"Ishwar allegedly assaulted his father and uncle during the altercation before fleeing the spot. He was tracked down and arrested in the Mohan Garden area," the officer added.
