Rajkot: A dispute between two brothers over managing their flower shop took an ugly turn with one of them brutally stabbing another to death in Jetpur town near Rajkot on Sunday.
Police said that Sikandar Kasam Shaikh (28) stabbed his 25-year-old brother Haroon repeatedly with a scissor in a fit of rage after a heated argument over managing the shop located at Stand Chowk in Jetpur.
Police sources said that the brothers had been at loggerheads for the last couple of months over various issues ranging from domestic chores to managing their shop.
On Sunday evening, while making a garland at the shop, they started arguing over work-related chores. As the altercation escalated, Sikandar allegedly stabbed Haroon with the scissors he was using. Police said that while a couple of stabs were superficial, one in the chest seemed to have punctured the lungs, resulting in his death on the spot.
Based on the complaint filed by their father Kasam Shaikh, police detained Sikandar who will be formally arrested after Covid-19 test. Meanwhile, police have sent Haroon’s body for postmortem.
