The younger brother of the deceased, however, said the brothers had taken money from a financer in Chandi Chowk.

"As they were not able to return the money on time, the financer was putting pressure on them. Some people forced them to drink phenol a few days ago. The police are supporting us and I hope they will help us get justice," he said. (ANI)
