Beleagavi: The 55-year-old Paan shop owner was stabbed to death because he refused to give credit to customers.
The incident occurred in the city late at night on Tuesday night.
The police arrested the defendant.
In the afternoon, a customer, who was identified as Dattatreya, signed a bitter argument with the owner of the Paan Balakrishna Shetty shop because he refused to give him credit because the previous payment was delayed.
Allegations also raised their lost cellphone problems and accused the phone with shetty and demanded that he hand.
Shetty, triggered by Kundapur in Udupi Regency, has lived in the city since the last 30 years and plans to return to its home city in two months because she was said to be annoyed with customers who would buy from her shop and did not bother to pay the amount.
Some local thugs also disturb him, demanding free tobacco, cigarettes and other items.
When he plans to close his business here, he collects balances from regular customers and stops giving fresh credit.
Dattarya is offended by this.
In the afternoon, Dattatreya, during the argument made an effort to hit him but he was stopped by the locals.
He then accused Shetty had his cellphone missing from a few days.
Dattatreya then left the place.

Hearing a neighbor’s shetty scream rushed to the only place to find her lying in a pool of blood.
Shahapur police arrested the defendant and registered a case.
