According to police, the deceased has been identified as Manoj Vishwanath Yadav, a driver of a vehicle used for transporting decoration materials. Preliminary investigations revealed that Manoj got into an argument with Kailash Ganveer, who runs a paan shop and also sells tea, over the payment of Rs 10 for a cup of tea.
