VELLORE: A Sunday booze party took a horrible turn in Samanthikuppam near Vaniyambadi with Fire and Rescue personnel fishing a dead 25-year-old Mavin out of a well early Monday and Vaniyambadi cops arresting three of his friends for causing his death.
Police said Mavin, a carpenter in Bengaluru, came to Samanthikuppam Sunday morning. He had brought liquor and invited seven friends for a party that afternoon. After three friends left the spot, it is said Mavin fell unconscious. The other three, drunk, are alleged to have thrown him into a well nearby to ‘revive’ him. It is suspected he drowned immediately. Two friends jumped in to rescue him, but in vain. They fled the spot.
