A 20-year-old woman working at a bar in Jabalpur district was stabbed to death by her male colleague following an argument at the workplace on Friday, police said. The incident occurred at ‘Mahfil Bar’ near Deendayal Chowk under Gohalpur police station limits.
The deceased was identified as Muskan Chaudhary, and the accused, identified as Pawan Verma, worked as a cook at the pub. Verma was later arrested by the police. According to Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Ayush Jakhar, the two had an argument over some issue at around 4.30 pm, following which their other colleagues intervened and pacified them.
However, the two later got into an argument again. During the heated exchange of words, Verma allegedly stabbed Chaudhary multiple times with a knife, leaving her seriously injured. As the woman collapsed, her colleagues rushed her to a hospital, where doctors declared her dead after an initial examination.
The accused fled the spot after the incident, but police later took him into custody. Police sent the body for post-mortem examination after completing the inquest proceedings and registered a murder case against Verma.
