Bengaluru Drunken brawl claimed two lives while a woman health worker and her husband were injured in an attack in separate incidents in Karnataka, where the sale of liquor was allowed as part of easing COVID-19 lockdown curbs, police said on Tuesday, May 5.
In the first incident, a man in his mid-thirties was stabbed to death by his friend after an altercation between them at a party organized to celebrate the resumption of alcohol sale in Bengaluru on Monday.
“The accused is absconding,” they said.
Another murder was reported at Jeevan Bima Nagar here, where a youth was beaten to death by his friend in an inebriated state.
“The incident occurred on Monday night when both were having drinks at the accused’s house,” police said.
“A search is on for the accused who is absconding,” they said.
In the third incident, a woman health worker was attacked at Shidlaghatta in Chikkaballapura district.
Ravanamma had gone to a village in the district to carry out a COVID-19 related survey with her husband, where a resident attacked them, under the influence of alcohol, for visiting the hamlet.
“The accused is said to have attacked the duo owing to personal enmity,” a police officer told PTI.
Police are on the lookout for the accused.
