BENGALURU: A 23-year-old employee of a mineral water supplying unit was arrested for allegedly murdering his co-worker over a trivial issue at their workplace on Narayan Pillai Street, Bharathinagar, on Monday morning.
Pintu Kumar, 20, from Bihar was allegedly kicked to death by his colleague Nipu Das, 23, from Assam.
At 10.30am, unit owner Saravanan S noticed that Kumar and Das were quarrelling over some petty issue while loading water bottles on to a mini-goods vehicle.
"I rushed to stop them. But by that time Das had punched and kicked Kumar, who fell unconscious. I rushed him to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead," Saravanan told police.
Bharathinagar police have taken up a case of murder and arrested Das.
