The City police has arrested seven persons accused of stabbing one person to death and causing injuries to another in a road-side brawl taking place in Lashkar Police station limits in the city late on Thursday night.
A special team was formed by the police, which managed to arrest the accused, who were produced before the court and remanded in judicial custody.
Police sources said Sadakath, a resident of Shantinagar in Mysuru, and his friends Haneef and Naushad were involved in a row with another group of youths in front of a tea stall near the suburban bus stand. While Sadakath and Haneef were stabbed, Naushad managed to escape from the spot. Though Sadakath also tried to flee, he collapsed a few metres away.
