On Monday night, Ravi called Varun to a bar near his house, saying he wants to settle the matter. Varun reached there around 10.30 pm. Both of them got drunk. But Varun did not forget about the car. He called Ravi a cheater and asked him to return the car. The altercation turned into a full-blown fight. The bar staff intervened and sent the men out.

Once out of the bar, the men started fighting again. In a fit of rage, Ravi took out a knife and stabbed Varun. As passersby rushed to Varun's rescue, Ravi fled from the spot. Varun later died in a hospital owing to severe bleeding.

Byatarayanapura police have registered a case and are hunting for Ravi.
