A 42-year-old construction labourer was killed over a drunken brawl near a community hall in Konanakunte on Sunday.
The deceased has been identified as Balaji, hailing from Nepal. He was living alone after being dumped by his family. A probe revealed that Balaji had partied with two of his friends. The police suspect that the accused, who were in an inebriated state, quarrelled over a trivial row and bludgeoned him to death before fleeing the spot.
Passers-by found Balaji dead in a pool of blood on Sunday morning and alerted the police. The police rushed to the spot and shifted the body for post mortem.
A case of murder has been registered and investigations are on to track down the accused who are presently on the run.
