“Both had consumed liquor. As per the initial investigation, Vignesh was supporting Mumbai Indians in Indian Premier League (IPL) while Dharmaraj was a Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) supporter," police said.
“During the course of their debate, Vignesh had allegedly mocked RCB and Virat Kohli. Vignesh had the habit of body shaming Dharmaraj, who was a stammerer. On that day he had made some remarks comparing the RCB team to the speaking difficulty of Dharmaraj. This infuriated Dharmaraj who attacked Vignesh with a bottle and later hit him with a cricket bat on the head. Dharmaraj soon fled the spot," officials said.
According to a report in Indian Express, Vignesh’s body was spotted on Wednesday morning by workers of SIDCO factory, and they alerted the local police.
The police sent Vignesh’s body to the government hospital in Ariyalur for autopsy while a case has been registered and Dharmaraj.
