Shimla: Seventy-eighty year old Hemtu Ram of Basantpur died in a fight with his brother Roopu Ram (73) over a land dispute, on Tuesday morning, police said.
District police chief RM Sharma said that Roopu Ram has been arrested and a murder case has been registered against him.
The two, who had a long pending land dispute, were holding a demarcation of their respective boundaries when at about 9 a.m. on Tuesday morning a scuffle broke out among the warring brothers, police said.
