In a shocking incident in Kathua district, Jammu and Kashmir, India, 18-year-old Nakul Singh was murdered, and his 16-year-old brother Nikhil Singh was critically injured. The attack took place at their home when the boys were alone, as their mother was working as a Public Health Engineering (PHE) employee. The tragedy was discovered when their mother returned home around 5 PM on Wednesday to find her sons lying in blood. Nakul was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries, while Nikhil remains on a ventilator at AIIMS, Vijaypur. The police have registered a case under Section 103 (murder) and 109 (attempt to murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) against unidentified individuals. Investigators found a blood-stained cricket bat at the scene, indicating the brutal nature of the attack, and Nakul's mobile phone is reported missing, suggesting theft. Authorities have detained several of Nakul's friends for questioning as part of the ongoing investigation.
