"I received a call around 7.15 am from my elder niece about the incident. I live in Indrapuri, Laxmi Garden and rushed to their home. They met me near their residence and I took them to the hospital. The youngest sister died during the treatment," said Roshan Lal, the younger brother of the accused. The accused was unemployed and was a drunkard, Lal added.
