Mumbai: Frustrated with his unemployed elder brothers demands and drunken behaviour, a 23-year-old stabbed his brother with a house knife 14 times.Vinay Yadav held a grudge against the victim, his elder brother Udayraj Yadav, and repeatedly stabbed him on Saturday night around 9.45 pm.

Vinay Yadav locked himself and his brother and then stabbed him.

Udayraj was unemployed and would often get drunk and assault his family members, causing much hatred in the family, the Mulund police officials said.The incident occurred when no one was at home, as the eldest brother and father had gone out for some work whereas their mother stayed in Uttar Pradesh.

Assistant Police Inspector Pandarinath Patil, Mulund police station, said, “Vinay locked the room from the inside and then stabbed       Udayraj 14 times. It was only when their eldest brother Abhay Raj reached home and saw that the door was locked and that Vinay refused to come out that he called the police for help.

The Mulund police got Vinay to open the door after which Udayraj was rushed to a nearby hospital but was declared dead on arrival. The authorities said that the victim being        unemployed used to sit in the house and harass the rest of the family members which would often result in violence. Udayraj  kept asking Vinay for money and spend it on alcohol thus  he  had  grudge  on  his  elder  brother.

The entire incident has left the family in shock. Abhay Raj, the eldest brother   did not  realize  that  Vinay  held  such  a  resentment  against  Udayrajs  drinking  and  demand  that  it  would  force  him  to  murder  his  own  brother. On Sunday, Udayrajs body was taken to Rajawadi hospital for a post mortem and the accused, Vinay, has been booked under IPC section 302 (punishment for murder). He has been remanded to police custody till May 24.
