Ullal: A youngster, who was aged 20 years and faced charges of abetting the death of a model, allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself outside his aunt’s house in Mundoli of Kutharu. The deceased youth has been identified as Yathiraj Gatti, who was found dead in front of his aunt house, situated adjacent to his house in Mundoli.

The youngster is suspected to have committed suicide at around 11 pm on Wednesday, when his aunt was out, but his body was found by his uncle on Thursday morning.

In March 2021, Preksha, a model from Ashraya in Kumpala, was found hanging from the roof of her room. The girl’s parents filed a police complaint against Gatti, accusing him of having abetted their daughter’s suicide. The Ullal Police had also arrested Gatti on the occasion.

Although Gatti was granted bail, the case is yet to be closed.

Following the death of Gatti, Ullal Police have filed a case and also visited the house of Gatti’s aunt to investigate the matter.

Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.

Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.

But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.

Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.

Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.

Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.

In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.

Brief Scores:

Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
