Ghaziabad, December 25: A man was stabbed to death by the owner of a roadside eatery after a row over Rs.60 turned violent, police said Sunday.
The incident occurred in Vijay Nagar when Prahlad Chaudhary, 32, and his nephew came to eat biryani at the eatery.
When its owner Jaivir Singh Malik asked them to pay Rs.260, Chaudhary was ready to cough up only Rs.200.
As the quarrel intensified, Malik and an aide caught hold of Chaudhary to force him to pay.
Freeing himself, Chaudhary picked up an iron rod and hit Malik and his wife Savitri. Seeing her bleeding, Malik stabbed Chaudhary with a kitchen knife in the chest.
He was rushed to a hospital where doctors declared him dead. Malik has been arrested.
