Summary
- A 32-year-old auto mechanic was found dead with his throat slit.

A shocking incident unfolded in Trichy on Wednesday, where a 32-year-old auto mechanic, Mohamed Farooq, was found dead in his home near Thennur. His throat had been slit, and police have since detained his 28-year-old younger brother, Azhar, on suspicion of the murder.
Farooq and Azhar, who works at a fish sale shop, lived with their mother. The grim discovery was made by their mother when she returned home from household chores. Neighbors alerted the police, who arrived at the scene to begin their investigation. Preliminary findings suggest that both brothers had a history of substance abuse and frequently argued when under the influence.
Investigators believe a quarrel between the siblings on Wednesday, likely while intoxicated, turned violent. Police suspect Azhar used a kitchen knife during the altercation to slit his brother's throat. Azhar is currently being questioned as the investigation into this fatal family dispute continues.
