AHMEDABAD: A petty dispute over a missing piece of non-vegetarian food during a New Year dinner in Ahmedabad’s Shilaj area spiralled into a deadly fight on January 1, with a man allegedly stabbing his brother to death, police said. On the evening of new year, brothers Ramu and Vishnu Khushwani, along with two cousins’ sons, all painters by profession, arranged dinner together where a non-vegetarian dish was prepared. While serving, Ramu noticed that his portion had one piece less. In the heat of the moment, Vishnu, who was chopping onions nearby, stabbed his brother, Ramu, in the stomach, that left him bleeding profusely, police sources said. Shilaj police rushed to the spot and shifted Ramu to a hospital for emergency treatment.
