Two brothers stabbed a married man to death for allegedly being romantically involved with their teen sister.

The incident took place in Kapil Nagar in the Indian city of Nagpur. The deceased, identified as Kamlesh Bandu Sahare, 27, a resident of Gaddigodam, was married but his wife wasn't living with him, NDTV reported.

"Kamlesh Bandu Sahare was married, but his wife did not stay with him. He was living with his parents and his daughter. He was in love with a teenage girl, who lived near the house of his sister in the Mhada colony. He had also gifted a mobile phone to the girl. But when her parents learned about her affair, they objected to the relationship," a police spokesperson told the publication.

The names of the suspects weren't released by cops.

According to NDTV, the girl lodged a complaint against Sahare at the Kapil Nagar police station in the first week of August, which led to Sahare's arrest. The deceased was being held in jail for two weeks and he was released recently, the publication reported.

"Upon his release, he kept visiting his sister's place daily for the past few days. On Wednesday evening, the accused - two brothers of the girl and their friends - caught hold of Sahare. The accused stabbed him multiple times and fled from the spot. Sahare was later taken to a hospital, where he died," PTI reported, citing police.

In April, a man in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh killed six family members of a person who allegedly cheated on his daughter and married another woman. The deceased, identified only as Vijay, was in a relationship with the suspect's daughter but he betrayed her and married another woman, which took a toll on the girl's mental health. The suspect, identified as Appala Raju, barged into the victim's home and hacked all his family members to death, including a 6-month-old infant and a 2-year-old toddler.
