Udupi, Dec 4: A chick that has the habit of repeatedly visiting the neighbour's courtyard gave rise to a fight between the families where sticks were used.

Ulloor near Padubidri in Kaup taluk witnessed such a fight. A local, identified as Raviraj Shetty, picked up a long stick and attacked Varija Shetty. The chick belonging to Raviraj's family had visited the courtyard of Varija. She chased it away. She also made angry remarks about the frequent visit of the chick to her courtyard.

After hot words were exchanged, Raviraj lost his cool and attacked the woman with stick. He also dragged the women members of the family around and used obscene words at them. A woman who supported Varija was also attacked.

It is believed that this fight may have its roots in old enmity or land dispute. Padubidri police summoned both the families to the station, got bonds executed by them, issued a warning and sent them back.
