Man stabbed to death for objecting to "drunken behaviour"

A 42-year-old man has been stabbed to death here allegedly by two people, who were reportedly drunk, after he objected to their behaviour, police said Wednesday.

A video of the incident uploaded by local web channels showed a man wearing a red shirt pulling aside the victim and attacking him with a sharp object in the Chariminar area.

Ravi Kumar alias Ravi Peter, formerly associated with a political outfit, was allegedly stabbed by two people with knives on late Tuesday night, Police Inspector K Balakrishna Reddy said.

The two later fled the area.
