Nagpur: In an act to settle score over simmering rivalry, a 60-year-old man attacked a middle-aged man with a sharp-edged weapon and killed him on the spot on Tuesday. Kotwali police have arrested the accused.

According to police, the victim Shailendra Balkrishna Junghare (36), a resident of Dasra Road, Gawlipura, Kotwali, was standing in front of his house around 7.15 pm on Tuesday. At the same time, the accused Suresh Sadhuji Ghongre (60), a resident of same locality, approached him and started a quarrel for settling score over some old dispute.

However, the wordy duel took a worst turn when the accused Suresh suddenly whipped out a sharp-edged weapon and attacked Shailendra causing grievous injuries to him. The complainant Lokesh Kishorerao Pawar (26), also a resident of Dasra Road, was present at the spot with his friend Rajesh Renke when the murderous assault took place. He rushed to help Shailendra and took him to Government Medical College and Hospital but doctors there declared him brought dead.
