Around 1.30 am, an argument broke out between the two outside the house.
Both men, reportedly under the influence of alcohol, began hurling abuses at each other. Gurmeet and other family members tried to intervene, but the fight intensified.
As the argument escalated, Shubham allegedly went back to his house, returned with a knife and attacked Vishal. He reportedly stabbed him multiple times in the stomach and other parts of the body before fleeing the spot.

Shubham will be produced in court on Monday.
