"The accused had gone to a shop to buy a mineral water bottle where he had a heated argument with the victim, followed by the stabbing," Calangute police station incharge Inspector Jivba Dalvi told reporters here. A First Information Report has been filed under Sections 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code and the knife allegedly used in the crime has been seized, the official said.
