Bhopal, November 17: In a shocking incident in Bhopal, two brothers were arrested for allegedly killing their younger sibling, Anshul, after he brought chicken to their strictly vegetarian household. Their mother, who helped conceal the crime, was also charged, police said.

According to a report in Bhaskar, Anshul, who regularly ate non-vegetarian food outside, returned home intoxicated on Friday night with chicken. Ignoring his family's disapproval, he took the food to the kitchen, prepared his meal, and began eating. He reportedly taunted his brothers, Aman and Kuldeep, by flaunting the chicken, leading to a heated argument. Jabalpur Horror: Man Killed by Nephew for Allegedly Contributing Less for Chicken and Alcohol Party in Madhya Pradesh, Accused Arrested.
