CHENNAI: A 33-year-old man was allegedly killed by his friend in a drunken brawl near Puzhal on Wednesday night. The deceased was identified as Saravanan.
The police arrested his friend Mani, 33, in connection with the murder. According to the Puzhal police, on Wednesday night, Mani and the deceased Saravanan, consumed liquor together at Puzhal and went home.
