Mumbai: The Vakola police have found four bottles of whisky in the car of Indrajeet Sawant (35) working with an engineering firm, who had hit NRI Sanjeev Jaiswal (37) with a baseball bat following a road rage incident in Santacruz east.
Vakola police said, Sawant under the influence of alcohol had rammed his car into one Hrishi Gandhi’s car on the CST road. “Sawant got off the car and took up a fight with Gandhi. Jaiswal was passing by and thought of making peace between the two. Sawant hit him with a baseball bat. We found four bottles of whisky in Sawant’s car. He was heavily drunk. The RTO will be cancelling his license for at least six months,” said investigating official.”
“We have booked him for attempt to murder and taken him into custody for further interrogation. Jaiswal is battling for his life and we are waiting for him to recover soon so that we can record his statements,” he added.
Couple remains locked in toilet for three days
Kottayam: “It was our second lease of life”, said M.J. Joseph, looking at his wife Eliamma.
It all began when Joseph, who was unwell, went to the toilet. After hearing a thud from inside, his wife rushed in to see Joseph lying unconscious on the floor.
In her anxiety, she inadvertently closed the toilet door after her, which got jammed. Worse still, the door did not have a latch.
Eliamma kept on shouting in the hope that the neighbours will hear her, but nothing happened. She saw the toilet brush handle was made of iron. She kept hitting the key hole with it still a small hole was made and finally the door could be opened.
Cats have nine lives they say. But this one (in pic) survived clinging onto the underside of a train for a journey of 118 miles.
Rail workers were stunned when they discovered the frightened feline with no obvious injuries despite his nonstop trip all the way from the south coast of England to Wales, reports ‘The Sun’.
The cat, who has been christened “Thomas” after the famous fictional train, made the extraordinary three-hour ride from Southampton to Cardiff. A baffled worker at the Freightliner Limited dockyards in Cardiff found the young male after his freight train adventure.
The employee called the RSPCA and when their officers visited the dockyard the nervous cat was hiding under the rail manager’s sofa.
The moggie, who has a white tuff on his chest, was taken to the animal welfare charity’s Merthyr Tydfil clinic for vaccinations and a vet check up.
He is now being cared for at a cattery. Despite not being fitted with a microchip, the RSPCA do not believe Thomas is a stray due to his good health and friendly nature.
The animal welfare charity is now keen to find his owners and has appealed to anyone who knows anything about him to get in touch.
Police say the sheep fell onto the Princess Highway outside Melbourne after the truck crashed and flipped on its side, causing it to hang precariously from the overpass. Several cars on the Princess Highway were damaged by the falling sheep and several people were injured. Paramedic Allan Eade says there were “a large number” of dead and injured sheep. Driver Robert Leardi says he was lucky he was not seriously hurt when the falling livestock damaged his car. He says he was driving when “all of a sudden these sheep are falling down from the top of an overpass.

Niagara Falls Police said witnesses reported seeing the man climb over a railing up to 30 feet (9 meters) out over the Horseshoe Falls and "deliberately jump" into the Niagara River. Seriously injured, he surfaced in the lower Niagara River basin near the Journey Behind the Falls observation platform and managed to make it to shore on his own.

French Queen’s pin found in toilet
Paris: A hairpin belonging to 16th century French Queen Catherine de Medici has been discovered at a royal residence outside Paris. And what’s left conservators scratching their heads is where it was found: a latrine. Officials said it’s the first time in living history that a possession of the Renaissance royal has been found at Fontainebleau Palace. The 3.5 inch pin was identified because it bore the initial “C” and the white and green finish known to be Catherine’s colours. The rare artifact was found in a toilet waste receptacle. It was discovered as the community facility was being prepared for restoration work.
