Initially, the brothers claimed to the police that there was a suicide pact among the family members, and they had all consumed porridge laced with sleeping pills.

"The motive behind the murder is likely related to their business," Verma reiterated, adding that the brothers, who are currently receiving treatment at NRS Medical College and Hospital, would face legal consequences.

Regarding the teenage boy receiving treatment at a private hospital, Verma mentioned that legal opinion would be sought. "We will try to determine if any relatives are willing to take custody of the child as per legal procedures," he said.
