In a tragic incident in Yallur village, Belagavi taluk, a dispute over just Rs500 escalated into a deadly assault. Husen Gaus Saab Tasewale, 45, who worked in construction scrap, died after being attacked near his home.
According to Police Commissioner Bhushan Borase, Husen and the accused, Mithun and Manoj—also scrap workers from the same village—were involved in a heated argument late Saturday night over the payment of Rs500 from scrap sale proceeds.
During the confrontation, the accused allegedly assaulted Husen by hitting him in his private parts, which caused fatal injuries. Husen succumbed to the injuries shortly after.
The Belagavi Rural Police have registered a case and taken Mithun and Manoj into custody. They are currently under interrogation as investigations continue.
