Police sources said that Vignesh refused to pay for the food he ate at the Pani Puri stall run by the deceased, Arman Singh, which led to an argument. The incident happened on October 4. In the melee, Arman, a native of Uttar Pradesh, had questioned his behaviour. So Vignesh pushed him down and assaulted him with a rock, leaving him to bleed. Arman was injured severely and rushed to the nearby hospital and then to Royapettah GH for treatment, where he succumbed.
