Watchman dies after drunk youths push him off top floor of lodge

A man in his 50s died instantly after he was reportedly pushed off the top floor of a lodging guest house by four drunk youths at Krishna Nagar in Banjara Hills police limits late on Thursday.

The victim was identified as Yadagiri, a resident of Ghatkesar. He had been working as the watchman at Raghava guest house.
