: A quarrel over digging a drainage pit adjacent to the compound of a house led to the murder of two persons in Udupi district, police said Sunday.
The incident took place Saturday.
The two had intervened to settle a dispute over the digging near their friend Lohiths house by his neighbour Harish Reddy who was a rowdy, the police said.
When Lohith objected to the digging, Reddy allegedly threatened him and continued the work, they said.
It was then the victims intervened - Yatish, a personnel assistant to a local Congress party leader Rakesh Malli, and Bharath, an auto-rickshaw driver, the police said.
This angered Reddy so much that his accomplices fatally attacked Yatish and Bharat, they said.
A case has been registered and an investigation on.
