Bengaluru: Man kill younger brother for shouting in house after drinking alcohol
Bengaluru: In a tragic incident reported at the Pulakeshinagar police station, a man stabbed his elder brother to death with a knife following a heated argument. The motive behind the shocking act was attributed to the victim's alleged habit of creating noise at home after consuming alcohol.
The deceased has been identified as Karthik (30), a resident of Doddagunte. Following the crime, the Pulikeshinagar police successfully apprehended the brother of the deceased, Vijay, who had fled the scene after committing the act.
According to the police, Vijay had been summoned to his brother's house by his sister-in-law. An argument ensued between the two brothers, and the situation quickly escalated, culminating in the tragic murder.
Karthik resided in Doddagunte with his wife, Sandhya, while Vijay lived separately. Both brothers were engaged in various small jobs to make ends meet. However, Karthik's excessive drinking and subsequent disturbance at home had led to growing resentment, particularly between him and his wife.

New Delhi (PTI): Approximately 13 lakh litres of packaged drinking water -- 'Rail Neer' -- are being supplied to train passengers across the railway network daily, the government informed the Lok Sabha in a written reply on Wednesday.
Apprising the Lower House about the Indian Railways' endeavour to provide safe and potable drinking water facilities at all stations, the government also provided zone-wise details of the water vending machines (WVMs) installed there.
"To ensure the quality of drinking water being made available at the railway stations, instructions exist for periodical checking and required corrective action to be taken.
"Regular inspection and maintenance of drinking water facilities is carried out and complaints are attended to promptly," Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said while responding to a question raised by BJP MP Anup Sanjay Dhotre seeking to know the supply of drinking water at railway stations across the country
"Complaints regarding deficiency in services, including water supply, are received through various channels such as public complaints, web portals, social media, etc. These complaints are received at various levels, including the Railway Board, zonal railways, division office, etc.," Vaishnaw said.
"The complaints so received are forwarded to the concerned wings of Railways and necessary action is taken to check and address them. As receipt of such complaints and action taken thereon is a continuous and dynamic process, a centralised compendium of these is not maintained," he added.
Providing zone-wise details of water vending machines, the minister said 954 such machines have been installed across railway stations.
"The Indian Railways also provides safe and affordable packaged drinking water bottles -- Rail Neer -- approved by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in trains and at stations," Vaishnaw said.
