6 feared dead as helicopter carrying pilgrims crashes in Kedarnath
Their father, a prominent deli owner, had given both sons money to start their businesses after COVID-19, police said, as reported by Pix 11 news.
"Due to Covid, the grocery store fails miserably. He goes bankrupt and is forced to move back home."
"A lot of tension between him and the brother over snide comments about how he’s a failure and his father giving him a hard time about the store not being successful," explained NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny during a press briefing on Tuesday (June 11).
Manifesto
The shooter, Karamjit, as per reports, has left behind a manifesto in which he recounts the abuse he endured.
The manifesto, sent as a long text message to his wife, detailed the abuse but did not mention suicide, police noted.
In it, Karamjit Multani detailed how his father demanded that he, his wife, and three children leave the family home.

On the day of the shooting, the shooterhad sent his wife and three children — ages 1, 2, and 4 — back to Indiana, the woman's home state. After a family dinner, Karamjit went to his brother's room armed with two pistols and shot him multiple times, ultimately killing him, said the NYPD Chief of Detectives.
As the shooting unfolded, their mother threw herself on top of Vipanpal, sustaining two gunshot wounds. She survived her injuries, police confirmed.
After the attack, Karamjit was captured on video, leaving the family home, removing his turban, and then fatally shooting himself in the head.
"As he's running, he drops the gun, picks it up, has an accidental discharge, runs a few more steps, stops, and just shoots himself in the head," said Joseph Kenny.
