In Kota, a 60-year-old man named Anil Goutam died on Friday after attempting to resolve a quarrel between his neighbors in the Mahaveer Nagar police station area. Goutam, along with his wife, had gone to de-escalate a fight between Kamlesh Rathore and Lalit Rathore.

His family, distraught by the incident, staged a protest at the hospital, demanding a murder charge.
The Mahaveer Nagar police have secured the body for a post-mortem examination, scheduled for Saturday. While initial observations suggest no external marks of violence, a case has been registered under section 194 of BNSS to determine the exact cause of death, with further actions contingent on the investigation and autopsy.
