New Delhi: In a shocking incident reported from Yaragatti taluka of Belgavi district, a man was killed over a dinner dispute on Sunday. The victim has been identified as 30-year-old Vinod Malashetti, who was invited to celebrate his friend Abhishek Koppad’s’s wedding at his farm. The wedding had taken place just a few days back.
The fatal incident unfolded when the accused Vittal Harugopp was serving food to the guests. When Vittal served chicken to Vinod, he complained that his portion was too small and asked for more. This was reported to have enraged Vittal, resulting in an argument between the two.
However, the issue escalated when Vittal suddenly grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed Vinod. This caused grievous injury to Vinod, who collapsed and died from excessive blood loss on the spot, said a report in NDTV. The local police have registered a complaint and are probing the matter.
Many such incident over minor issues have been reported in the past as well. In a similar incident in May this year, a man killed his co-worker by attacking him with glass shard while they were cooking food at Delhi’s Amar Colony. The victim had asked his colleague to add salt to the vegetables carefully. Both were later identified to be labourers from the same village in UP.
