Mysuru: A youth was stabbed to death by his friend during a scuffle over a trivial issue in Vijyanagar late on Tuesday.
Chiranth, 21, died of stab injuries on the way to hospital. Accused Manoj has been arrested, Vijayanagar police stated.
Deputy commissioner of police AN Prakash Gowda said both Chiranth and Manoj were friends for the last three years.
A few days back they had quarrelled, and the public had intervened and pacified them. Around 7.30pm on Tuesday, Chiranth picked a quarrel with Manoj near KD Circle in Vijayanagar that ended in the murder, police said.
Chiranth was carrying a sharp weapon and tried to threaten Manoj using it. During the scuffle, Manoj somehow grabbed the weapon and stabbed Chiranth on his chest leaving him badly injured.
