We are two brothers Mukesh Kumar, my elder brother, and I, Sukhdev, the younger. 1, Sukhdev Singh, was sleeping inside the house, while my brother Mukesh was sleeping in the plot situated in front of the house. Near him, Kirtan son of Rajendra and Sunil son of Bhagirath were also sleeping. At about 01:30 A.M., I suddenly heard the screams of my brother.
