A 67-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly hiring contract killers to bump off his elder brother since he was jealous of the latter's success in business, police said today. Shekhar and his two brothers - Sharma and Naresh Kumar - had jointly started a hotel business in Agra. The hotel business was being managed by Sharma and soon, other business ventures were also started from the profits made by the hotel. When Sharma decided to part with his share in the hotel business, Shekhar thought that his fortunes will vanish in absence of Sharma's management skills. He hatched a conspiracy to get his brother killed so that he could become the sole owner of the various business ventures, said the officer.
