Résumé détaillé

Two men were killed after a quarrel escalated into an armed confrontation in Bawana. The victim's brother has been detained as police investigate the motive.

Two men were killed following an armed confrontation after a quarrel in a village in outer-north Delhi, news agency Press Trust of India reported on Sunday. Police have detained the brother of one of the deceased in connection with the killing of the other man.

The deceased were identified as Sachin, 27, and Sonu alias Pradeep, both residents of Pooth Khurd village in Delhi's Bawana area. The incident has led to tension in the area.

Police received information about gunfire around midnight. Sachin was taken to MV Hospital, where he was declared dead. He had suffered a gunshot wound to his chest.

A police team reached the scene in Pooth Khurd and found bloodstains and three empty cartridges inside a cowshed owned by Sachin's family, an officer told Press Trust of India.

During a further search, police found another body in an adjoining lane, about 100 metres from the cowshed. The deceased was identified as Sonu.

A preliminary investigation and CCTV footage showed that Sonu had allegedly called Sachin and asked him to come out of his house. A quarrel broke out after Sachin stepped outside, following which Sonu shot him, the officer said.

On hearing the gunshots, Sachin's brother Naresh came out of the house and chased Sonu, who was trying to flee. Naresh caught him, leading to a confrontation in which Sonu was killed, according to the preliminary findings.

Police told Press Trust of India that Naresh had been detained in connection with Sonu's murder. Teams examined the crime scene, collected evidence and reviewed CCTV footage.

While the preliminary investigation has established the sequence of events, police are examining what led to the quarrel and the motive behind the two killings.
