BHOPAL: A neighbour has been beaten to death as he intervened in a fight between a husband and wife over cooking mutton curry. The incident took place in Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh. Billu is the deceased. Police arrested Pappu Airhwar in connection with the case.

Some people consider Tuesday as an auspicious day and don not eat non-vegetarian food that day. But Pappu insisted on cooking mutton at home that day. His wife objected to this. This led to a quarrel between the two. Hearing the commotion, Billu intervened in the fight and settled the issue. He then returned to this house. But Billu's interference in his household problems was too much for Pappu to bear. He got angry and went to Billu’s house and attacked him brutally. Even though his wife tried to stop him, he did not back down. Billu collapsed and died after the attack. Although the neighbours rushed him to the hospital, he succumbed to death. Following the complaint of his wife, Pappu was immediately taken into police custody. He confessed the crime.
