Police said both had a fight during drinks in the open area of an abandoned farm house. The accused, identified as Ram Kumar, has been arrested.
The body of deceased Panga was spotted by a passerby on an abandoned land in Fatehpur Beri area around 8 am. He informed the police and other local residents.

Another police team during inspection found another person lying on the ground, a few steps away from the spot.
“He had injuries in his body. He was also rushed to the hospital where his condition is said to be stable,” said a police officer.

An argument broke out between them and Ram Kumar hit Panga with a beer bottle on his head.
He told police that he was also attacked by Panga with sticks and stones and as he was under the influence of alcohol he could not run from the spot and slept there after hitting Panga with beer bottle.
