Belagavi police report a man, Arunkumar Balishtar Chavan, was arrested after allegedly stabbing his friend, Sathiram Chandradev, to death during a drunken brawl over chicken in Mudalagi taluk. The incident occurred on August 23 at a PG village named Hunashyal. Both men were from Kabirganj village in Uttar Pradesh and worked at a steel factory in Hunashyal PG.
The argument arose when Arunkumar accused Sathiram of taking too much chicken. In response, Sathiram was stabbed in the chest with a knife nearby, resulting in severe bleeding and his death. Arunkumar later lied to Gokak hospital doctors, claiming Sathiram had fallen while welding. However, upon further investigation, police found evidence of a deep injury on Sathiram's chest, leading to the realization that he had not died from a fall.
The knife used in the murder was seized, and the case was subsequently solved by the Ghataprabha police.
