On Sunday, there was a function in the street and Pratham and Sulaj were crossing from the street in two cars with their around 10 accomplices. Our bike was parked in the street and due to which their cars could not pass. They honked and when Ballu and I came out of our house, they took out sharp-edged weapons, bottles and sticks and started thrashing us. Two of our neighbours were also injured in the process. My brother Ballu was hit on the head and we rushed him to hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead.”
