According to him, the disagreement escalated into a physical confrontation during which the suspect allegedly struck the victim on the head, leading to his death.
The police spokesperson expressed concern over the rising cases of murder in the state, attributing them to hot temper, drug abuse and conflicts that could have been resolved peacefully.
