Two men stabbed an elderly man to death after a heated argument over bursting firecrackers outside the victim’s house in Chhattisgarh’s Durg district, police said on Tuesday (Oct 21, 2025).
A police officer said the accused, Sanjay and Shubham, were bursting firecrackers outside the house where the 60-year-old victim Ganesh Bairagi lived and the argument started when Mr. Bairagi’s daughter-in-law objected to the same.
The officer added that when the argument escalated, Sanjay and Shubham took out a small cutter and chased the woman inside her house, where Mr. Bairagi was having dinner with his family inside. When he tried to intervene and calm the pair down, they abused him and repeatedly attacked him with a cleaver. The victim collapsed and was taken to a hospital in Supele, where doctors declared him brought dead. The attackers fled the scene but were arrested on Tuesday, the officer said.
