According to the police, Irshad’s sister –” an eye-witness — alleged that her brother was attacked by their uncle Mubarak, 50, a mason by profession; his wife Rihana Khatoon, 47; and their sons Ishtiyaq, 26, and a 15-year-old minor. All are residents of the same locality, officers said.

Preliminary inquiry and CCTV footage from the vicinity revealed that a quarrel had taken place earlier between the victim and the accused family members, which allegedly escalated into the fatal attack, the police said.

The reason for the quarrel was a petty issue between both parties regarding cleaning of the surrounding area, police said.
