Bareilly (UP): Three brothers have allegedly killed four members of a family, including their father, over a land dispute in Kesarpur village in Bhuta area here, police said today.
The incident took place yesterday when the three accused sons entered the house Kanturi Pal (75), father, and shot him, his son Reetram (29), daughter-in-law Seema (29) and one-year-old grand son Lucky over the dipute of 42 bigha of land.
All the three died on the spot.
