A 21-year-old accidentally fell to his death from the eighth floor of an 18-storey apartment in Poonamallee while climbing a pipeline to reach his room.
Police identified the victim as Navin Kumar Arun, a native of Nellore, Andhra Pradesh. He was doing B.Tech in biomedical science at an engineering college in Thandalam, near Poonamallee, and stayed with his friends at the apartment in Chembarambakkam.

“Judicial time is a valuable public resource. Every frivolous or misconceived invocation of constitutional jurisdiction results in diversion of time from genuinely deserving litigants,” said the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court while imposing a cost of ₹50,000 on a man from Theni district who filed a petition with an unusual prayer: permission to conduct daily protests till the ‘World War’ ends.
