Brothers Died Due To 'Suffocation'
Initial investigations disclosed the presence of approximately 460 litres of illicit gasoline stored in the tank. The gasoline was kept in cans inside the tank. CCTV footage from the room showed one brother handling the petrol cans around 3 AM. It appears that during this process, the lid op the can got accidentally opened, releasing poisonous gas.
