Kolkata, Dec 31 (NationPress) An individual has been taken into custody on allegations of murdering his elder sibling in the Park Street area of central Kolkata, as reported by the police on Wednesday.
The victim has been identified as Neeraj Jaiswal. The suspect, Dheeraj Jaiswal, is accused of taking the life of the 55-year-old man.
Initial investigations indicated that the tragedy arose from a familial conflict regarding property. Officers from the Park Street police station apprehended the accused sibling on Wednesday morning.
According to police sources, the tragedy occurred between 6:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Tuesday evening. The Jaiswal family comprises three brothers, with the youngest one being unwell and residing with the accused, Dheeraj, at their home in Park Street.
The eldest sibling, Neeraj, resided in the Chaltabagan area and visited the Park Street residence on Tuesday evening.
Police initially believed he had come to visit his sick brother. However, Dheeraj suspected he had arrived to discuss property division, which likely ignited the argument.
The confrontation escalated quickly, resulting in Neeraj being pushed, causing his head to collide with a brick, leading to severe bleeding. He was rushed to Nil Ratan Sarkar Medical College and Hospital in critical condition.
Unfortunately, he succumbed to his injuries late Tuesday night while receiving treatment.
In the aftermath, the deceased’s son lodged a formal complaint against his uncle, Dheeraj, at the Park Street police station. Following this complaint, police interrogated Dheeraj and subsequently arrested him.
As per police statements, Neeraj's body is set for a post-mortem examination. A forensic team has been dispatched to the scene to gather evidence.
“The brother against whom a murder complaint was filed has been taken into custody. At first glance, it seems the act was committed in a moment of rage. However, investigations continue to uncover the underlying causes of this incident,” stated a senior official from Kolkata Police.
