Victim's Brother Recounts Horror, Alleges Prior Complaint

Meanwhile, recounting the brutal nature of the attack, the victim's brother said, "My brother was shot three times, but the police said that two magazine rounds were fired. One bullet hit him in the head and went right through. Two bullets hit him in the chest. He was also probably stabbed. He had cuts on his hands, so he must have struggled a lot."

Detailing the events leading up to the tragedy, the victim's brother mentioned that "Faizan was a very simple man, and he had taken a loan. When he couldn't repay it, the father and son came to our house and started fighting. We had even filed a complaint at the Bhajanpura police station, but nothing happened."

Expressing frustration, he further said, "We just want justice. We want both the father and son to be arrested, and the strictest possible action taken against them. The police say they are on the run." (ANI)
