    actually there are conflicting versions of this incident... another newspaper reports that pavan kumar (died) and manjunath (injured) are toll booth workers... toll booth workers had attacked the car passengers... the car passengers came back at 12 midnight and killed pavan kumar with hockey sticks... toll plaza workers are mostly goons / tadipars from northern states whose job is to harass / cheat public...
