AHMEDABAD: A 42-year-old cook from Rajasthan suffered a heart attack and died soon after he was beaten up for making ‘kaju katli’ instead of the ‘laddoos’ he was asked to prepare for a wedding in Gujarat’s Banaskantha village on Saturday.Police said on Monday, “Deva Maheshwari, a resident of Samarvada, had given the contract to Sukhdev Prajapati to prepare food and sweets.” Prajapati ended up making ‘kaju katli’ due to some confusion. “This irked him and three of his relatives who allegedly abused and hit Prajapati, after which he collapsed,” a police officer said.He was rushed to a nearby private hospital where he was declared dead. “Prajapati got confused with two catering orders he had. Kaju katli increased the host’s cost,” police said.”When he collapsed, he was smoking ‘bidi’. We did not find any evidence of a big fight,” said inspector AT Patel. A case of accidental death has been registered. Prajapati’s family has not made a police complaint. “We will take action based on the postmortem report,” said Patel.
