Chennai, April 29: Asking a noisy neighbour to turn down the volume of his television set cost a 27-year-old man in Pallikaranai his life.

Tarun, a van driver from Kamakshi Nagar, requested his neighbour Marimuthu, an autorickshaw driver, to turn down the volume since his four-month-old son was unable to sleep with the television next door blaring.

Marimuthu not only refused to lower the volume, he took a knife from his kitchen and stabbed Tarun in the chest, police said. Marimuthu himself rushed Tarun to a private hospital in Velachery, but he bled to death before reaching there. Doctors pronounced him 'dead on arrival.'

Police have arrested Marimuthu, an autorickshaw driver. Neighbours and police said it was a quite a trivial matter that triggered an argument between the two men. Police quoted eyewitnesses as saying that when Tarun knocked on the door, Marimuthu opened it and shouted at him. When Tarun asked him to lower the volume or switch off the TV, a fisticuff ensued. Marimuthu's wife came to pull the two men apart, when Tarun pushed her away. Enraged over this, Marimuthu rushed into his house, came back with a knife and stabbed Tarun.

"The injury was on the chest, probably in the region of the heart. That's why he died before doctors could do anything," a policeman said. The body of Tarun, who hails from Kerala, was later moved to the Chromepet General Hospital for postmortem. Neighbours said Marimuthu was quarrelsome by nature, but he might not have wanted to kill Tarun. "It was Marimuthu who took Tarun in an autorickshaw to the hospital," said S K Kannan, assistant commissioner, Madipakkam.

Panaji, Feb 23: A MiG-29K aircraft crashed off Goa during a routine training sortie on Sunday morning, the Indian Navy said in a statement.

"The pilot ejected safely and has been recovered. An enquiry into the incident has been ordered," the statement said.

On November 16, a MiG-29K trainer flight had crashed after a bird hit, soon after it took off the Dabolim International airport, which functions out of the Indian Navy base INS Hansa.

Both pilots had managed to safely eject themselves to safety after both the engines of their jet failed.

According to data tabled in the recent budget session of the Goa Assembly, every ten days, at least one aircraft landing or taking off at Goa's Dabolim international airport faces dangers involving birds or stray dogs near the runway.

Mumbai, May 27: "Crime Patrol" actress Preksha Mehta has committed suicide. She was 25.

Preksha took her life by hanging from a ceiling fan on Monday night at her residence in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, reports timesofindia.com.

The actress reportedly left a suicide note but it does not mention why she decided to end her life. As per reports, Preksha went into depression due to lack of work amid the lockdown.

Her last few social media posts hint at mental agony she was going through. In her last Instagram story, Preksha wrote: "Sabse bura hota hai sapno ka mar jaana" (the worst thing is the death of your dreams)."

Apart from "Crime Patrol", Preksha has appeared in TV soaps like "Meri Durga" and "Laal Ishq".

This is the second suicide by a TV actor during the ongoing lockdown, when all shooting activity has come to a halt for two months now. A few days ago, actor Manmeet Grewal took his life by hanging from the ceiling fan at his Mumbai home. Reportedly, the actor was in a financial crisis and had run into huge debts.
