Neighbour dies after man hurls stone at his head

Kalaburagi: A 38-year-old man died in Akkamahadevi Colony near Kalaburagi high court after he was hit by a big stone hurled by his neighbour, who was reportedly upset with the victim’s dog. The victim, Gururah Gopalrao Kulkarni was found dead in the morning on Friday after he was reportedly hit in the night on Thursday by his neighbour Pavan Jahagirdar.
Members of Kulkarni’s family said that Jahagirdar was often in the habit of hurling stones at the former’s dog when it barked. The dog’s behaviour often brought members of the two neighbours’ families into conflict.
A few days ago, Kulkarni had lodged a complaint accusing Jahagirdar of breaking his brother’s leg in a fight. A member of Kulkarni’s family alleged that Pavan had not been arrested and was absconding.
On Thursday night, Jahagirdar, along with a few of his friends arrived at Kulkarni’s house, and hurled a huge stone aimed at the latter’s head and fled the scene. Members of Kulkarni’s family are understandably upset with the cops for their failure to arrest Jahagirdar despite a complaint being lodged against him.
Meanwhile, Kalaburagi rural police have registered a fresh case and have spread their net to apprehend Jahagirdar.
