A man and his son were shot dead on Friday morning in Padampur Kheria village in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, during an altercation over a piece of land, according to Rediff.
The victims have been identified as 55-year-old Kamlesh Lodhi and his 22-year-old son Amit Lodhi. The accused, Rajkumar Lodhi, is the brother of Kamlesh Lodhi.
