Being older, the victim advised Arun that leaving one’s wife was not a solution and that he should keep his family together. Offended by this advice, a heated argument broke out while they were under the influence of alcohol, leading Arun and the co-accused to pick up a kitchen knife and allegedly stab Parashuram in the neck, killing him on the spot.The SP clarified that the victim had just returned to work that day after 15 days of leave. He added that the accused had no prior criminal record and that the crime was an impulsive act triggered by alcohol and momentary provocation rather than a premeditated plan.
