Why Babruvahana killed Vrishaketu?
Babruvahana did not fight on behalf of the Kauravas. He did not participate in the battle of Kurukshetra. He had a good relationship with the Pandavas and killed Arjuna because Arjuna himself wished. They wanted to be free from the curse of Vasu. Babruvahana did not kill Vrishketu, nor did he fight anyone else.
Ulupi Provoked Babruvahan To Battle
Arjuna had a son named Babruvahana from the princess Chitrangada here. Babruvahana was the king of Manipur at that time. Ulupi also instigated Babhruvahana to go to war with Arjuna. Babruvahana agreed to the battle at the behest of his father, Arjun, and stepmother Ulupi.

Arjuna, the chief of the human folk, who killed the enemies of the latter, attacked the Vrishasena on the battlefield, seeing that Vrishasan killed the horses of Madrikumar Nakula. Among the whole army, Lord Krishna was significantly injured. Vrishasena was standing in front of Karna at that time.
Vrishasena was the son of Karna and a mahayodha and skilled archer of the Kaurava army. Karna and his son were slaughtered at the hands of Arjuna on the 16th day of the war.
