Two Brothers Arrested in Hathras Property Dealer-Journalist Killing Case

Two brothers, Kamal and Gaurav Sharma, were arrested in connection with the killing of Ved Prakash Sharma, a 35-year-old property dealer and local journalist from Hathras. Ved Prakash went missing on April 6, and his body was found the next day near Sadabad-Jalesar road.

Firearms were seized from them, and further legal proceedings are underway.
