A man killed his 26-year-old brother with a shovel for beating their specially-abled mother in Uttar Pradesh's Pilibhit district. He later surrendered before the police.
Salma Begum lived on rent with her elder son Razi Ahmed, younger son Fasi Ahmed, and daughters Gulbahar and Rukhsar, Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Anil Kumar Yadav told reporters.
