Bengaluru: A man from Bihar died after he was assaulted for questioning why he was abused, the police said on Sunday. 

The deceased is Bhim Kumar (25), a native of Begusarai. 

The police said that on September 7, the suspect, Salman, allegedly abused Kumar, who was having paani puri with his friends near Mico Layout, where he stayed. A small quarrel ensued between Salman and Kumar. Salman later followed Kumar, punched him and fled. 

Kumar had fainted and was taken home by his friends. After three days, they realised that Kumar had died. 

The case was transferred to the Puttenahalli police from Mico Layout police due to jurisdictional matters. A probe is underway.
