Friend kills man over trivial row

A BPO employee was killed by his friend who allegedly stabbed him in an inebriated state in Kacharakanahalli on Thursday night.

Jayakumar, 30, had been to his friend Rahil’s house for a party and when both were in an inebriated state, Jayakumar took exception to Rahil not paying the EMIs of a loan he had been surety for. A tiff broke out between the two and Jayakumar reportedly kicked Rahil, angering him. Rahil allegedly picked up the kitchen knife and stabbed Jayakumar in the chest.

“It was not a deep wound, but a very minor one . But it cut a nerve leading to excessive bleeding and death,” a senior officer said. Rahil fled from the spot and is yet to be arrested.
