As per the complaint, the brothers had gone out to chew pan masala after dinner. Jigo was standing near the parlour and asked them to fetch pan masala for him. When they told him to get it himself, he became enraged, used abusive language, and suddenly pulled a knife from a vegetable lorry and stabbed them
