A seemingly trivial disagreement over a cup of tea spiraled into a violent physical confrontation in Patna district on Saturday, resulting in injuries to two individuals. The incident has drawn attention to how everyday disputes can quickly escalate in urban neighborhoods.
The Spark: A Dispute Over Tea
The altercation took place in the Indira Nagar locality, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Mokama police station. According to reports, the conflict involved two men identified as Gulshan Manjhi, aged 45, and Karan Manjhi, aged 50. The trouble began during a work-related interaction when Karan allegedly offered Gulshan a cup of tea that he had already tasted.
From Argument to Physical Violence
What started as a heated verbal argument over this act soon escalated beyond control. The exchange of harsh words rapidly turned physical, with both parties engaging in a violent scuffle. The situation intensified to the point where both men sustained injuries significant enough to require immediate medical attention.
Aftermath and Police Action
Following the clash, both injured men were rushed to a local hospital for necessary treatment. The local law enforcement was alerted, and taking cognizance of the serious turn of events, an official First Information Report (FIR) was lodged at the Mokama police station. The filing of the FIR formally initiates a police investigation into the circumstances surrounding the violent incident.
This event serves as a stark reminder of how minor irritants in daily life, if not managed with restraint, can lead to serious consequences, disrupting community harmony and involving legal authorities.
