The deceased has been identified as Ajay (30). He was attacked by Bablu, his employer and one Tarun both of whom have been arrested. The incident took place at around 9 PM near Seempuri market area, police said.
Bablu and Tarun invited Ajay for drinks. However, they soon started to argue over a previous incident in which Ajay had attacked Bablu. The argument snowballed into a scuffle during which Tarun caught hold of Ajay while Bablu slashed his throat with a paper cutter," said a senior police official.
According to police, preliminary investigations have shown that a few days ago Ajay and Bablu had an argument over pending payment, following which the former attacked the latter with a knife.
"Bablu had filed a case of robbery and attempt to murder in this regard but they did not mention Ajay's name in the FIR. Both the accused have been arrested after we registered a case of murder in this regard", said a police official.
