BANGALORE: Two men with criminal antecedents died after they stabbed each other following a petty quarrel in J.J. Nagar police station limits.

The police gave their names as Zabi (23) of Padarayanapura and Yasin (27) of Mominpura. Around 11 p.m. on Sunday, Zabi and Yasin, who were drunk and were smoking ganja near the Mominpura burial ground, started quarrelling over money. Following a verbal duel, the two attacked each other with knives. As the two suffered injuries in the abdomen, their relatives rushed them to hospital. The two died in the early hours of Monday, the police said.

There was a criminal case against Zabi and Yasin in J.J. Nagar and Magadi Road police stations, the police said.

Robbery case solved

The Central Division police have arrested an employee of a real estate agency who had allegedly enacted a robbery drama and fleeced his employer of Rs. 8 lakh. The police have recovered Rs. 4 lakh cash and gold ornaments and electronic goods worth Rs. 3 lakh from the arrested, Jayaprakash Rao of Ejipura.

The police said that on May 16, Jayaprakash lodged a complaint with the Viveknagar police that armed men intercepted his motorcycle near Air View point on Koramangala Ring Road and robbed him of Rs. 8 lakh cash at gunpoint. After withdrawing Rs. 8 lakh from two banks, Jayaprakash was on his way to the estate agency office on Airport Road.
