Chennai: A 20-year-old man shot his friend dead at Kelambakkam in Tamil Nadu’s Kancheepuram district on Tuesday. According to a report in The Times of India, the police suspects he was shot over a video game as the duo were said to be video game addicts.

The incident happened when the deceased, identified as Mukesh (19), a second-year student at a private polytechnic college, went to his Vijay's house in the same town. Vijay's brother Udaya was sitting outside the house when Mukesh entered to meet the former and his parents were not at home at that time. Udaya told the police that after few minutes, he heard a gunshot and went inside the house to find Mukesh, shot in the head, lying in a pool of blood and Vijay holding a gun. Before Udaya tried to stop him, Vijay fled the house with his phone and the gun. Neighbours then rushed Mukesh to a nearby hospital after which he was referred to another hospital, but then he was declared brought dead by the doctors.
