A 52-year-old man was knifed to death allegedly by his employee, who grazed his cattle, over outstanding wage of Rs 40 and some rice at Ghatsila in Jharkhand, police said today.
The officer-in-charge of Dumaria police station, Vipin Kumar said the employee, a tribal, had been appointed against a quantity of rice and money as his wages.
