Two brothers found dead in suspected drug overdose in Punjab
The deceased, Gurdeep Singh and Sona Singh, were reportedly battling addiction, according to their family members in Patti town.
Two brothers were found dead in a room in Patti town on Sunday in a suspected case of drug-related deaths, according to The Tribune.
The deceased have been identified as 36-year-old Gurdeep Singh and 28-year-old Sona Singh, both sons of Jagir Singh.
The brothers' mother, Surinder Kaur, and sister, Satwinder Kaur, alleged that the deaths were linked to the consumption of narcotic pills and heroin, locally known as chitta.
The family stated that the men went to sleep in their room on Saturday night and were discovered lifeless early Sunday morning.
The family has been living in a room on the premises of the Taran Wala Government Elementary School block office for four years.
Surinder Kaur and Satwinder Kaur have appealed to the administration and social service organisations to provide financial aid and support for the children's education.
