A 15 year old girl in Mumbai committed suicide after she and her mother were dragged to a local police station on the allegation that her mother had an illicit affair.

The Madurai police have asked immigration authorities to issue a look out circular for union minister MK Alagiri's son Durai Dayanidhi and eleven others in the illegal granite quarrying case in Madurai.

The couple from Sriganganagar in Rajasthan who decided to give up their 8 day old child for adoption in exchange of Rs 40,000 so that they could fund their two-year-old child's treatment, have now received some help. A local NGO, the Tapovan trust, has collected Rs 51,000 on their behalf.

Imagine finding seventy sovereigns of gold, platinum and diamond jewellery stolen from your home left at your doorstep with an apology note from the thief! This is exactly what a cancer specialist in Chennai witnessed on Wednesday evening.

The Prime Minister's mailbox may well be overflowing! Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa has been writing at least a couple letters to him every week. In her latest communication to Dr. Manmohan Singh, the AIADMK Chief has urged the Centre to "arrange for the immediate release of the 23 Rameshwaram fishermen to Tamil Nadu along with their 5 boa...

Police in Ooty have registered an attempt to rape case against a sepoy, who had allegedly attempted to rape an eight year old girl. The girl's parents are army officers and the sepoy was an assigned orderly (helper) at their quarters.

Soon after casting their votes for the Presidential election, DMK MPs from the state went into a huddle.

There was tension at the Hindupur Government Hospital in the Anantpur district of Andhra Pradesh on Wednesday morning with the relatives of a woman sitting on dharna with the body of her newborn baby.

Bits and pieces of the as yet secret report have appeared in the media but the government is yet to release it officially.

What insurance companies refused to do, NDTV viewers/readers and the general public have done. The seemingly insensitive, intransigent, commercial face of an insurance company that was perhaps all too eager to escape a claim for coverage of twin infants in the neo natal ICU, by hiding behind the devil in the fine print of the policy has been offset...

Tamil Nadu's Chief Electoral Officer Praveen Kumar made news recently when he chose to bring his father from North India and get him admitted in a government hospital in Chennai for treatment. That may well be seen as a refreshing departure from those in the corridors of power who would usually prefer corporate hospitals.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa has explained why she ordered the release of DMK cadre who courted arrest, protesting what they called the "AIADMK's repressive regime and vendetta politics".

Metro rail work, plus 'One Way' changes, plus a DMK agitation plus sudden traffic diversions. That's a deadly cocktail and prescription for a nightmare in daylight for commuters in Chennai. On normal days, traffic crawls at places like the Kodambakkam bridge. You can imagine the plight of motorists today.

We were driving underneath Chennai's Gemini Flyover after an interview when Divya, an intern accompanying me, received a call from her sister who happened to be at the Apollo Hospitals. Her message: "a bus fell off the flyover and all ambulances are rushing".
