The attack occurred when the brothers were chatting near a tank close to their home. The assailants, who arrived on bikes, used machetes to carry out the fatal assault. Six special teams were formed to trace the culprits and so far, sources said eight people have been arrested in connection with the murders. A case was registered under various sections and the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
