As the customer was leaving, Dilip asked him to pay his bill, to which he said that payment had already been made, they said.
The victim, however, kept asking for the bill amount, which led to the argument and some friends of the e-rickshaw driver also joined in, a senior police officer said.
In the commotion, Dilip was punched in the stomach, and he fell to the ground and died, the officer said.
A case was registered under section 304 (punishment for culpable homicide not amounting to murder) of the IPC, and a person, identified as Rahul of Lal Bagh, was arrested, the police said.
