A man was killed while two of his brothers sustained injuries in a knife attack in southeast Delhi's Govindpuri area, police said on Thursday.
Police said four men have been arrested over the attack, which occurred at Machhli Market at Govindpuri area Wednesday night.
According to police, the three brothers - identified as Mohammad Azad (28), Mohammad Irshad (25) and Mohammad Saddab (24) - slapped Shivam over a minor issue at Navjeewan Camp in Govindpuri at around 9.30 pm.
