Recently, the brothers sold their ancestral property and they had received an advance of Rs 1 lakh. On Thursday afternoon, when both were discussing about sharing the money, they began arguing, which escalated into a fist fight. Both of them attacked each other. In the melee, Naresh took a blade and slashed against Vignesh’s neck and then attacked him with an iron rod and fled the scene.

Hearing his screams, neighbours rushed to help and moved Vignesh to a hospital, but he was declared ‘brought dead’. Madhavaram Police arrested Naresh, brought him before a magistrate and remanded him to custody.
