A 40-year-old man was killed while his brother and a friend were injured here after they were attacked for objecting to three men drinking outside their shop, police said on Saturday.

The incident occurred on Friday late night when three men reached one of the victims, Neeraj's shop in Jawahar Colony, in an inebriated state, police said.

"It was around 11.30 pm when Gaurav along with his two friends reached the shop in a car in a drunken state. They bought some eateries from my shop and began drinking in front of my shop.
