Jaisalmer: Man killed over a piece of chicken

JAISALMER: A fight over a piece of chicken led to the death of a labourer in Jaisalmer.
The incident, which took place on Wednesday, was reported to police on Friday. The cops then took less than 24 hours to arrest the killer from Barmer. It all started when four labourers were having chicken and got involved in a brawl over distribution of pieces. In a fit of rage, one of the labourers attacked his colleague with a spade killing him.
SP Ajay Singh said the labourers — Kumpnath, Kailashnath, Purkhnath, Ramnath — had cooked chicken. While eating, Kumpnath and Kailashnath had a fight as Kumpnath took more pieces of chicken. This enraged Kumpnath who attacked Kailashnath with a spade and fled.
Kailashnath’s brother Moolnath, a resident of Mokhab Khurd of Barmer district, in his police complaint said his brother was working with contractor Bhanwarnath along with Purkhnath and Ramnath at an army area at Revant Singh Ki Dhani in Jaisalmer. After work at night, they were sleeping inside the army area.
Around 4am, Kumpnath attacked Kailashnath with a spade on his head. Ramnath and Purkhnath, who were sleeping with Kailashnath, woke up and on seeing them, Kumpnath also attacked Purknath before fleeing.
