NEW DELHI: In a shocking turn of events, an umpire was stabbed to death following a dispute over a run-out decision during a local cricket match in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, as reported by NDTV.The victim, Dola Ajith Babu, along with his friend Budumuri Chiranjeevi, was officiating at a local ground when the incident occurred.The incident took place on Sunday evening after an argument broke out between players from two teams over a run-out call.“Ajith Babu and Chiranjeevi intervened and settled the issue on the field. However, one of the spectators, Kanta Kishore, became angry and started abusing the umpires and players,” Circle Inspector Malleswara Rao said.“After the match ended, Ajith Babu, Chiranjeevi and a few friends went to a spot nearby. As soon as they reached the spot, another argument broke out. Kishore suddenly pulled out a knife and attacked the two umpires,” Rao said.Ajith was stabbed by Kishore and collapsed at the spot. He was rushed to a hospital for treatment, but doctors declared him dead.Chiranjeevi also sustained injuries in the attack.Ajith’s father, Dola Appala Raju, has lodged a murder complaint against Kishore.Ajith’s brother (not named) alleged that the accused, a resident of a neighbouring colony, was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the attack.He further claimed that the dispute over a single run had been resolved earlier after intervention by village elders, but the accused later planned the attack.“… In the match, there was an argument over one run. The argument became heated, and the person who attempted the murder was not a cricket player. He is a resident of Vinayak Nagar. He came in between the argument and used abusive words, which led to a serious argument between both teams. Later, village elders came and settled the issue there itself. After everything, in the evening, they were under the influence of alcohol and planned this attack. He carried a knife in his pocket and came to the Padigadli junction and called Chiranjeevi” the victim’s brother told NDTV.“He started shouting and arguing. Suddenly, he took the knife out of his pocket and stabbed Dola Ajith in the chest. We tried to catch Kishore, but he ran away. We took Ajith Babu to VIMS Hospital, but no doctors were available, so we shifted him to Apollo. Around 8.15 pm, doctors declared him dead,” he added.
