Fuelled with old enmity, a 25-year-old man was killed and another was severely injured after they were attacked by two armed miscreants by a sharp-edged weapon at Arjun Nagar under Piplani police station area on Friday.
According to the police, at around 11 pm when the assailant Pankaj Patil entered the colony riding his motorbike, the victim Mukesh Prajpati who was near his house told to switch off the lights of the motorbike, which raised an altercation and soon turned into a brawl. A fight broke out between the two and soon Radheshyam and Guddu joined the fight.
Pankaj along with his father Guddu attacked the victims with sharp edged weapon.
The neighbours of the deceased told that Mukesh was in an inebriated condition at the time of the incident but as the police have not received post-mortem report the fact could be confirmed later, told the investigating officer ASI Mohan Gupta.

During preliminary investigation, old enmity between the victim and accused surfaced as the reason of the attack. The accused are being searched and no arrest has been made till date.
