A resident of Rampura village in Arsikere taluk succumbed to injuries he suffered in an assault by a person at the village on Saturday.
Girish, 44, died at a hospital in Bengaluru on Saturday night. He was allegedly attacked by Ramesh, another resident of the village.
Ramesh was reportedly quarrelling with residents of the village in an inebriated state on Saturday. Girish intervened to pacify him and advised him to give up alcohol. Following this, Ramesh allegedly attacked Girish with a boulder, leaving him with serious injuries.
Locals rushed him to a hospital in Arsikere, from where he was first shifted to a hospital in Hassan and later to a hospital in Bengaluru.
Based on a complaint filed Girish’s wife Latha, the Arsikere rural police have registered a case. Ramesh is currently on the run, the police said.
