Shivamogga, June 3: In a gruesome incident, a youth killed a person with a lethal weapon for a petty reason in a crowded place on a broad daylight at Vidyanagar in the city on Sunday.

Inspector Devaraj and his staff visited the spot and inspected. Kote police registered a case and searching for the accused.
Background
The victim was married and he knew Ravikumar. But in recent days, Prabhu was speaking ill about the family life of Ravi Kumar’s brother. Ravikumar has warned Prabhu several times against speaking about his brother, it is said.
In spite of his warning, Prabhu continued to speak against Ravikumar’s brother openly. Raged over this incident, the accused attacked Prabhu near a wine shop at Vidyanagar. But seriously injured Prabhu who was admitted to McGann Hospital for treatment, succumbed to the injuries.
People recording incident in mobile phones!
Once again the people who have witnessed the incident have proved that they do not care about the life. The onlookers have not tried to avoid the incident and rescue the person though they were witnessing the incident. They hesitated to take the victim who was in the pool of blood after the attack, to the hospital on time. Though Prabhu was screaming for help, no one has turned out to help him and thus exhibited their inhumanity, it is said.
Instead of helping the deceased, the onlookers were busy in recording video and taking photos in their mobile phones. But a police constable who was moving on the same direction came to his rescue and admitted him to the hospital, police sources said.
