Hadgaon tehsil resident Sudarshan Suryavanshi (21) and accused Sunil Rathod of Chakur were in a relationship which the latter wanted to end and this caused a fight between the two on Tuesday, an official said.

"Rathod hit Suryavanshi with a stick and fled, and passersby took the latter to hospital.

Suryavanshi died on Friday after which we arrested Rathod," he added.
