Bengaluru: A 31-year-old software professional succumbed to stab injuries, caused by a screwdriver, which he sustained following an altercation with a cyber café staff in Banashankari.
The incident happened last Thursday and the victim, Guru Prashant, succumbed on Monday. The police have detained the accused, identified as Karthik, for murder.
According to preliminary investigation, Guru, a resident of Banashankari Third stage and a Wipro employee, had gone to a nearby cyber café on Thursday night to get printouts of his resume.
A dispute arose regarding the charges. According to Karthik, each print out costs Rs 2, but when Guru printed them, coloured printouts emerged.
When Karthik demanded more money, a heated argument ensued between the two. In a fit of anger Karthik took out a screwdriver and stabbed Guru on his head.
The screwdriver poked the skull near the left ear and Guru experienced severe pain and collapsed outside the centre.
Passersby rushed a profusely bleeding Guru to a nearby private hospital from where he was shifted to BGS Hospital, where he succumbed, police said.
