Bhopal: Gunga police have nabbed 55-year-old Hari Singh for killing his 80-year-old elder brother Pappu Pal in Sukliya village. Police investigation revealed that Pappu’s younger brother Hari killed him as he was upset with continued harassment of family members by the deceased.
Evidences and statements by grandson of deceased Hemant Pal and son of deceased Pappu Lal helped police in cracking the case. Sub-Inspector Sahab Singh Ivne said that the Hari Singh had confirmed that the deceased used to abuse and harass whole family including him and women for past several years.

Pappu was found hanging at his house on August 3 in the morning by family member. Police sent the body for post mortem and initially booked a case under sections 302 and 201 of IPC.
