Three men were killed after a Holi celebration turned violent in Bengaluru. The incident occurred in Anekal, where a group of six labourers, all from the same village in Bihar, were celebrating the festival of colours at an under-construction building.

According to police, an argument erupted among the intoxicated men following inappropriate comments made about a woman. The altercation escalated, with the men using wooden sticks and iron rods as weapons, according to NDTV.

Authorities arrived to find a gruesome scene, with all three victims lying dead in pools of blood. One body was discovered in the apartment passage, another inside a room, and the third outside the building.

Two of the deceased have been identified as 22-year-old Ansu and 23-year-old Radhe Shyam. The identity of the third victim remains unknown. Police have one injured suspect in custody and are actively searching for the remaining two individuals involved.

Holi celebrations were marred by violence in different parts of the country. In Delhi’s Dwarka area, another Holi celebration turned violent after a heated argument over splashed colour led to an assault and the vandalism of a taxi.

In Madhya Pradesh, a 64-year-old succumbed to his injuries after he was attacked for objecting to loud music being played during Holi amid school exams in the Maihar district. The accused and five of his relatives have been booked.

Additionally, two people were allegedly killed in separate incidents in Faridabad, while the body of a 14-year-old boy was found in the Aravalli hills. A 22-year-old man, identified as Suraj, was beaten to death while mediating in a quarrel, while another man, Deepak, 25, was stabbed to death in an old rivalry.
