The Arilova police said that the incident occurred when A. Appalaraju consumed liquor with his friend Jagadish. After a few drinks they reportedly had a heated argument and in the heat of the moment Jagadish allegedly attacked Appalaraju with a sharp knife inflicting injuries in the stomach region. The police registered an attempt to murder case and efforts are on to nab the accused. The police said that Appalaraju is a rowdy-sheeter from Arilova and in the recent times he is trying to lead a normal life.
