    New Delhi, Jun 4 (PTI) Two brothers killed a 28-year-old man using a blade and stone slabs in a busy residential locality in Delhi in broad daylight allegedly over a monetary dispute, police said on Saturday.
     A video footage of the incident which has gone viral showed residents retreating to their homes and people deserting the lane as the duo battered Narender alias Bunti, a resident of Azadpur, over a few minutes. A third man who was accompanying the assailants tried to stop the attack, but in vain.
     The gruesome murder that took place in northwest Delhi's Adarsh Nagar area on Friday at around 2 pm was captured on a CCTV camera.
     The footage showed the victim was walking when he was accosted by the two brothers who punched, kicked and attacked him repeatedly with a blade and stone slabs.
