A 35-year-old man was killed allegedly by his elder brother after the former beat up their sister, police said.
Gurjit Singh, a resident of Santowala village in Moga district, was allegedly killed by his elder brother Rajinder Singh on Saturday night, they said.
According to police, Gurjit thrashed his sister Paramjit Kaur for refusing to hand over a mobile SIM card.
When Rajinder objected to it, a fight broke out between the two brothers, the police said.
Seeing the matters worsen, their uncle took Gurjit Singh and Paramjit Kaur to his house. Rajinder later went to his uncle's house and allegedly attacked his brother with the handle of a hand-pump, they said.
