Dubai, Feb 8 : A 32-year old Indian man, who worked as a maintenance worker in the UAE, has died after falling from the seventh floor of a building in Sharjah, according to a media report.

The body of Gopa Kumar, who hailed from Kerala, was found by the police in the shaft of the building, the Khaleej Times reported.

"The man had already died due to the strong impact of the fall. The police found the deceased in a pool of blood as his skull had damaged severely," the report said.

The body was later transferred to a forensic laboratory to know if there was any criminal intent behind the incident, the report said.

The watchman of the building is in police custody for interrogation, it said.

"We cannot assume he had committed suicide before the completion of the investigation," an officer was quoted as saying in the report.

While the relatives of Kumar have been informed, the police said that the body will be handed over for repatriation after the post mortem.

Bengaluru (PTI): BJP leader R Ashoka on Friday claimed that the ongoing power struggle between Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy D K Shivakumar has created massive confusion in Karnataka.

He remarked that the proverb “when two people fight, the third one benefits” has come true, as AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge is also now making efforts to become Chief Minister.

Speaking to reporters here, Ashoka said the entire government has turned into a house of confusion due to the alleged power tussle.

Kharge’s new statement has only added to the chaos, he said.

Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge had on Friday said that no date has been fixed yet to discuss possible leadership change in Karnataka.

This came a day after Kharge said there was no change of CM in Karnataka "for now" and that the leadership issue in the state would be resolved soon.

The BJP leader said that Kharge too has aspirations and that he was cheated earlier.

"Perhaps he has received a green signal from the Congress high command to become CM. Everyone is already saying Kharge should become CM. Kharge himself has declared, “I am ready to become CM.” Despite many attempts in the past, he never became CM. Now he is trying to seize the opportunity," the Leader of Opposition in the state assembly said.

According to him, the situation in Congress has perfectly become a case of “two people fighting, third one benefits.”
