Killing of two brothers in Ulhasnagar: 2 arrested

Two men, Shekar Birajdar and Ajay Rao, have been arrested in connection with a firing incident in Ulhasnagar that killed two siblings and left their uncle seriously injured.

Police on Friday arrested two persons in connection with the firing incident of the previous night at Ulhasnagar in the district in which two siblings died and their uncle was grievously injured, a senior official said.

The arrested men were identified as Shekar Birajdar and Ajay Rao.

''The duo was produced before a local magistrate who remanded them in police custody till May 28,'' said Deputy Commissioner of Police Sachin Gore.

A group of assailants opened indiscriminate fire following a dispute in Kailash Colony around 8.30 pm on Thursday, causing panic in the area. The attackers fired 15 rounds before fleeing.

Brothers Anil Chauhan (22) and Aman Chauhan (17) died on the spot while their uncle was injured.

Investigation into the exact motive behind the crime is underway, police said.
