March 29, 2016

Bengaluru, Mar 29: A petty argument over watching the World T20 match between India and Australia on Sunday night snowballed into an ugly fight, leaving a man dead and two others injured. The incident occurred at SK?Garden in JC Nagar, northcentral Bengaluru.

KennedyAvinash, 23, a resident of SK?Garden, was watching the match along with friends, David and Kenneth, at a large screen put up at 4th Cross in the locality.

Around 10.30 pm as India were cruising to a famous win, John Kennedy, 24, a youth from the locality, took his dog for a walk. He came to the place where the match was being watched. The dog started barking. Avinash and his friends got annoyed and asked Kennedy to go away.

But he ignored them and stayed put, watching the match himself. The dog barked again, further irritating Avinash and his friends. They picked a fight with Kennedy and beat him up, forcing him to retreat.

Kennedy went home and told his mother and sister about what had happened. The women took him along and went to the spot. They scolded Avinash and his friends. But the men retaliated and thrashed Kennedy. His mother and sister also received some blows in the melee.

Kennedy got furious, picked a broken liquor bottle and pierced it into Avinash's abdomen. He also attacked David and Kenneth. Thereafter, he left the place along with his mother and sister.

Avinash collapsed and started bleeding. Local residents took all the three men to hospital. Avinash succumbed to his injuries while David and Kenneth are said to be out of danger. The jurisdictional JC Nagar rushed to the spot and arrested Kennedy from the terrace of a building where he was hiding.

Just after Avinash was attacked, his younger brother called up his mother and told her about the altercation. The parents rushed to the private hospital and thence to Bowring Hospital where Avinash was admitted. But he died before the parents could reach there.

Avinash was the eldest son of Shankar, a contract worker. He had dropped out of college and was jobless. Kennedy was working as a delivery body with a sales agency, the police aid.

Mangaluru, Mar 30: In continuing cases of tipplers in the southern states ending their lives due to non-availability of liquor during the lockdown, two men committed suicide in Karnataka's Dakshina Kannada district.

The two suicides were reported in Kadaba taluk on Saturday, police said.

Tomy Thomas (50), a rubber tapping labourer in an estate at Kutrupadi village of the taluk, was found hanging at his rented house on Saturday. Thomas, a native of Kottayam in Kerala, had joined at the estate here a month ago.

Local people said he was desperately moving around in the last few days asking about places where he can get liquor. He had also not reported to work in these days. The body has been kept at the mortuary of a hospital at Deralakatte.

In another incident, a 70-year old man, belonging to Kodimbala village in the taluk, allegedly hanged himself from the branch of a tree near his house at Nakur.

The deceased has been identified as Thomas, who had left his family here 30 years ago and had been working in Kerala. He had returned here only a few years back.

Sources said Thomas, an alcohol addict, was having health problems related to withdrawal. He has been living on pavements at Kadaba without going home.

Kadaba police has registered cases in connection with the two incidents.

Incidents of tipplers committing suicide have been reported in Kerala and Telangana in the past few days. Two men ended their lives in Kerala today while a 50-year old daily wage worker jumped to death from a building in Hyderabad on Friday.
