Fatal Family Dispute in UP: Brother Kills Brother Over Garbage Disposal Argument

The victim, Virendra, was 40 years old.

In Hapur, Uttar Pradesh, a tragic incident occurred where a man was fatally attacked with an axe by his own younger brother and sister-in-law following a dispute over garbage disposal.

The incident unfolded on Tuesday when Sunil's daughter disposed of garbage in front of Virendra's house. When Virendra expressed objection to this, it triggered an argument between the brothers that quickly turned violent.

Sunil and his wife Guddo then violently assaulted the 40-year-old Virendra, striking him on the head with an axe and a stick. Severely injured and bleeding heavily, Virendra was initially taken to a local nursing home before being transferred to a hospital in Meerut, where he ultimately succumbed to his injuries.

Following the tragedy, Virendra's wife Chanchal filed a formal complaint against Sunil and Guddo. The couple has fled and remains at large. Police have formed special teams dedicated to apprehending them.

In a statement to NDTV, Superintendent of Police (Hapur) Vineet Bhatnagar noted that law enforcement was not informed even when Virendra was transferred to Meerut for treatment.

"We will take immediate action," Bhatnagar assured.
