RIP
His family already had many issues. Actually his younger brother (now in jail) killed his parents almost 15 years ago. Not sure what it was over but the story can be found on the internet. Deep (Amardeep) was the apparent heir to his parents land in India and supposedly during his last visit in India his own thaia had him poisoned/drugged to death so that the thaia could control the land.
