A police official said Shameer warned Hilal from using FM radio at high volume in the night since their father, who had several medical issues, had difficulty in sleeping due to the noise.The siblings fought over this, a police officer said. Later, during night while Shameer was asleep, Hilal bludgeoned him using an iron rod. An officer from Aruvikkara police said Hilal in the past had mental issues and used to take medicines.
