"The accused, identified as Sunny alias Lalu and Ramanand Sagar were arrested within four hours of the incident," said Additional Commissioner of Police (West) Ranvir Singh, adding that the dagger used in the crime was recovered.
The incident took place around 9 PM yesterday when the two brothers, Bhola, who worked at an automobile showroom as a mechanic and his brother Pinku, who worked as a mason, were cooking food outside their house.
"As the siblings had run out of water themselves, they declined the request. The accused got into an argument with the brothers and threatened to kill them," Singh said.
Sagar immediately, took out a dagger and stabbed Bhola in a forceful manner. Immediately, Sunny took out the dagger from Sagar and caused multiple stab injuries in the chest and lower portion of Pinku as a result of which, he succumbed to his injuries. They then attacked Bhola and fled the spot, the officer said.
Bhola in his statement told police that in the scuffle Sagar was injured as well, after which the accused were arrested.
A case under sections related to murder and attempt to murder was registered at Rajouri Garden police station and further investigations are underway, police said.
