Mangaluru: A late-night stabbing incident was reported near Deepak Bar in Surathkal, about 20 km from Mangaluru, around 11 pm on Thursday.
According to police, four men — identified as Mukshid, Nizam, and two others — had gone to the bar for drinks. A group of four unidentified persons who were also at the bar allegedly started an argument with them. The quarrel continued outside the bar, where one of the accused reportedly took a knife — suspected to be the type used for cutting flex banners — and stabbed Nizam in the stomach. Mukshid sustained an injury to his hand.
