A man was allegedly stabbed to death at a wedding engagement in Hyderabad early on Monday after some guests were reportedly not served chicken curry.
The deceased, identified as Anwar, was the groom's cousin. Another person also got injured in the scuffle that broke out between some guests and the host.
The police have taken some of the accused into custody and registered cases under sections 302, 147, 148 and 307 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Arms Act at the Hussainialam Police Station.
Around seven to eight persons were involved in the brawl including four who stabbed Anwar.
"We have taken few accused into our custody and all the others who are involved in the matter will be arrested within 24 hours," Anjaiah, ACP, Charminar division, told reporters.
According to police, the incident happened around 1:00 am when one of the accused, Ashfaq, and his friends started arguing with waiters after they refused to serve chicken curry.
Anwar intervened to pacify the matter but was killed by Ashfaq, his brother and few others.
