Bengaluru: A 55-year-old man was fatally assaulted during a drunken brawl over a minor issue in Chikkajala.
The victim, Narayanaswamy, was a daily wage worker.
Police said Narayanaswamy quarrelled with his friend Muni Venkatappa outside a bar after drinking on November 11.
In the altercation, Narayanaswamy allegedly fractured Venkatappa’s hand.
Shortly after, Venkatappa’s son Ajay confronted Narayanaswamy, demanding he take his father for treatment. When Narayanaswamy did not respond, Ajay assaulted him and fled.
Bystanders took Narayanaswamy to a nearby hospital, where he died on Sunday.
Chikkajala police arrested Ajay, 26, an online food delivery agent, soon after Narayanaswamy’s death and remanded him to judicial custody.
