A 42-year-old employee of the Commercial Taxes Department in Chengalpet has died following a fall from a building on Saturday. The incident occurred in Puzhal, Chennai, when police arrived to question the individual, R. Rajapandian, about a harassment complaint lodged in July.
According to reports, Rajapandian had previously been warned not to contact the complainant. However, he allegedly re-established contact, demanding money owed to him.

The adjacent roof tragically collapsed under his weight, causing him to fall and sustain critical injuries. He was initially taken to a local hospital for first aid before being transferred to Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
