Bengaluru: A 22-year-old youth was stabbed to death by unknown assailants over a trivial matter early Sunday morning.
Police said the deceased Manoj from Hoysala Nagar and his friend Anthony were returning home when they came across a group that caused some disturbance on a road in Ramamurthy Nagar.
Manoj, intrigued, stopped briefly to see what was happening. The assailants confronted Manoj for “staring” at them and, after a heated argument, stabbed both him and Anthony. Manoj succumbed to his injuries at the hospital, while Anthony is recovering, the police said.
A case has been registered by the Ramamurthy Nagar police, and investigations are ongoing.
