CHENNAI: A 40-year-old woman died in a freak accident at KK Nagar after an iron pole attached to a rope on her terrace gave away and fell on her when she had gone to collect clothes on Sunday night.
Rani and her husband Narayanan, a resident of Vivekananda Street in Tiruvallur district, had come to her brother Manikandan's house in Sector-4, KK Nagar, a couple of days ago.
