India, Nov. 22 -- Bengaluru police have uncovered a chilling case of fratricide after the body of a 24-year-old man was found dumped near a lake earlier this month.

According to a report by NDTV, Dhanaraj (24) was killed inside a car by his brother Shivaraj (28), a cab driver from Kalaburagi district, along with two accomplices, Sandeep (24) and Prashanth (26).
