A man lost his life in a violent altercation at Nand village in Bhiwapur Police Station area. The deceased, identified as Dinesh Suresh Chacherkar (35), a resident of Nand in Tehsil - Bhiwapur, met a tragic end in the dispute. Police arrested the accused Chetan Kawdu Chute (25), also a resident of Nand. The altercation which led to the murder stemmed from a previous quarrel at a beer bar on October 14, where Dinesh and Chetan’s elder brother, Suraj Chute, were involved.

 

Police said the dispute began when Dinesh poured water on Suraj Chute while both were at the beer bar. This act offended Suraj, who confronted Dinesh about the incident. An exchange of words ensued which led to Dinesh pushing Suraj to the ground. After the altercation, Dinesh and his brother returned home, police said. The situation escalated later in the evening when Chetan, Suraj’s younger brother, arrived at near Hanuman Square where Dinesh and his brother were engaged in a discussion at approximately 11.30 pm. He sought to ‘address’ the quarrel between Dinesh and Suraj.
