Abbas Fouzi, a powerloom worker, and his brother had stepped out to buy food from a nearby hotel for the guests who had arrived at their house when they ran into Ansari and Khan.
The accused demanded Rs 200 from Abbas and his brother. When the latter expressed inability to give them the money, Khan and Ansari attacked the brothers with knives, the prosecution told the court.
Abbas died on the way to the hospital.
The prosecution examined 13 witnesses including two eyewitnesses during the trial.
