When the matter was called this morning in the Reliance Magistrates’ Court, the man stood expressionless as the charge was read to him by Magistrate Renita Singh.
The 44-year-old man was involved in an altercation with two brothers, one of whom he fatally stabbed, while the other was injured during the assault.
