A 45-year-old man was stabbed to death by his friends during a drunken brawl over a trivial issue on KR Road, Banashankari, on Thursday night.
The deceased, Suresh, a resident of Thyagarajanagar, was running a small eatery.
Police have arrested three suspects — Velu, Stephan, and Prathap, all residents of Banashankari.
Police said around 9.30 pm, Suresh had gone out drinking with his friends, including Velu, an auto driver. The group continued to drink while roaming around in an autorickshaw.
Suresh allegedly began abusing Velu without reason. Enraged, Velu smashed a beer bottle on a stone and stabbed Suresh repeatedly, killing him on the spot. The Banashankari police are investigating further.
