Bengaluru: A 28-year-old paani puri vendor was beaten to death allegedly by two of his drinking buddies near Electronics City in southern Bengaluru late on Sunday night, the police said.
The deceased is Sarvesh, a Uttar Pradesh native, who had been selling chaat in the area for the last 12 years, the police said.
On Sunday, following the day’s work, Sarvesh went to a local bar to drink. Here, he met the two suspects, Rahul Kumar, 27, and Sahadev Turi, 45, both from Jharkhand’s Chattra district, who worked as masons.
After a few rounds, an argument broke out between them. The fight continued outside the bar where they were buying cigarettes. In the heat of the moment, the two attacked Survesh with a cobblestone, killing him, and then fled the spot.
His body was discovered on Monday morning near a plot of land close to the bar by passersby who alerted the police. The two suspects were arrested on Monday, the police said.
