Techie dies after falling off Chennai airport flyover, using mobile phone

In a tragic incident, a 32-year-old techie, who hailed from Andhra Pradesh’s Vijayawada, died on Monday morning after falling off a flyover at Chennai airport.

Witnesses told police that Chaitanya had been sitting on the railing of the flyover and had fallen off from there. Footages from the CCTV cameras showed that the man was either trying to take a selfie or talking to someone sitting on the railing. The flyover is used for dropping passengers at the domestic and international departure terminals.

“He may have an e-ticket in his mobile. But his Apple iPhone was damaged in the incident. Another phone he carried was malfunctioning after the fall from a 10-foot high flyover,” the police officer said.

Chaitanya’s family members were informed with the help of an identity card, recovered from his body, and they are rushing to Chennai from Vijayawada.

A case was later registered by the airport police under section 174 (unnatural death) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC).
