An affidavit, if signed in the presence of the Presidency Magistrate is nothing, except a statement of facts confirmed by the oath by anyone, may that be on a false oath. If affidavit made with false oath, the person signing the affidavit is responsible, himself, but you may have to prove that for the purpose of any legal punishment.
So, that you have to see or some other person, having any concern about the falseness or truthfulness of the affidavit.

It was a tenancy right not an absolute ownership property, even you have relinquished your rights in favor of your brother.
Try to have amicable settlement.
If not possible, show all documents to local lawyer and discuss in detail.

Being a tenant no one has a right, claim, or title in the demised premises; none of the three have inherited title of the property.
Consult a local lawyer for better appreciation of facts and applicability of law on the subject in context with above observation.
