A 32-year-old man was stabbed to death following a series of quarrels near J.C. Nagar in north Bengaluru on Saturday (April 4), the police said. The deceased has been identified as Vijay. According to a complaint filed by one Ranjitha, the incident stemmed from a late-night altercation on April 3.
Police investigations revealed that Vijay, allegedly in an inebriated state, picked up a fight with a man, identified as Vinod Kumar, after a minor accident in J.C. Nagar on April 3 night. The altercation escalated, and Vijay allegedly damaged Vinod’s two-wheeler.
Later that night, Vinod, along with one Uday Kiran, went to Vijay’s house to confront him. However, Vijay did not open the door. On April 4 morning, tensions flared again when Vijay allegedly went near the residence of a woman known to Uday and abused her. Enraged by this, Uday and Vinod began searching for Vijay.
The police said the duo traced Vijay to a bar in the area, where another argument broke out. Vijay reportedly fled the spot but was intercepted by the two in a nearby lane off J.C. Nagar Main Road around 11.45 a.m.
The duo allegedly stabbed him with a knife and fled. Bystanders rushed him to a nearby hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival. He had sustained severe injuries to his abdomen and chest, the police said.
