Biju (38), his companion auto driver, was seriously injured in the incident. He has been admitted to a private hospital. BJP has called for a bandh in Panathadi Panchayat area to condemn the incident. A case has been registered by the Rajapur Police against Jose, a resident of Shivapura and a chicken stall owner.

It is learnt that Arun, Biju and Jose had gone to participate in a programme at Shivapura on Wednesday night after which, Arun did not allow him to climb into his auto for the return journey, as he was drunk. 

Sources said that Jose then followed Arun on a friends bike and after picking up a knife from his chicken stall intercepted Arun’s auto and fatally stabbed him.  Biju, who tried to intervene, was also stabbed.  Locals came to their rescue, but Arun died on the way to the hospital.
