A clash between three brothers over loud music turned tragic after they turned on each other, leaving a father and son dead at their residence in the Vikhroli suburb of Mumbai. Parksite Police has detained two persons and registered a murder case. The incident took place in the early hours of Thursday, August 6, in the Rahul Nagar area of Vikhroli (West) under the jurisdiction of Parksite Police Station, zonal DCP Abhaysinha Deshmukh said.
The dispute erupted when 40-year-old Sunil Vishwakarma was playing loud music on his phone, which reportedly irked his other two brothers, Surendra and Suraj.
“Sunil was playing loud music on his phone, and one of the brothers got upset and asked him to reduce the volume. It led to a fight between them, and in a fit of rage, brothers Surendra and Suraj Vishwakarma stabbed Sunil and his 14-year-old son Shlok,” the police officer said.
“They also attacked Sunil’s wife Anju and younger son Vivaan who came to help,” he said.
The four were rushed to Rajawadi Hospital, where Sunil and Shlok were declared dead. The police detained the other two brothers, and a murder case was registered at the Parksite police station.
An officer said that the brothers have fought multiple times in the past, with multiple calls being made to the police control room. The deceased worked as an agent to help with driving licences, while the other two brothers earned money through short-term jobs. Deshmukh said, “The crime scene has been secured, forensic examination is in progress, and all legal procedures are being carried out. The motive and complete sequence of events are being established as part of the ongoing investigation.”
