Marlin fish pulls fisherman into sea, fisherman goes missing in Visakhapatnam's Anakapalle coast
The missing person has been identified as Chodapalli Yerayya, a native of Pudimadaka coastal village in Atchutapuram mandal in Anakapalle district.
Yerayya went fishing along with three others from Pudimadaka in a motorized boat on Wednesday morning. After sprawling the bait (line fishing method), Yerayya on board was pulling it. However, a large blue marlin (locally known as kommu konam) fish took the bait and Yerayya was unprepared for the force of the fish pulling on the line, resulting in the fish pulling him into the waters and he went missing in the waters.
Though the remaining three fishermen on board and other fishermen searched for Yerayya, their efforts proved futile.
It is not the first time that such incidents were reported. A few such incidents were reported on the Vizag coast in the past. Such incidents are possible for a large fish to pull a fisherman into the sea. This usually happens when a powerful fish takes the bait and the fisherman is unable to manage the force of the fish pulling on the line, said Joint Director of Fisheries Department, Anakapalle district, G Vijaya.

The search for the missing Yerayya is on, she added.
It may be recalled fisherman Molli Joganna was impaled by a huge black marlin fish while he was fishing in the Bay of Bengal, off Andhra Pradeh's Anakapalle coast in February 2022. The tragic incident occurred when Jogannawas attacked by the giant marlin, which is one of the most aggressive fishes known and has a spear-like snout. Joganna was a native of Mutyalammapalem coast in Anakapalle district
A group of five fishermen on a traditional boat ventured into the Bay of Bengal for fishing (60 nautical miles from the shore).
When the fishermen were lifting the net, they observed that the net was heavy, and they struggled to pull the net. Suspecting that something happened in the net, Joganna ventured into the waters to check.
The marlin, which weighed around 80 kgs escaped from the net and pierced Joganna's stomach with its sharp snout. Rescue efforts by the other fishermen failed and they brought Joganna's body ashore.
The fishermen said that the demand for the Marlin fish (Kommu Konam) is high in the market and at the same time a lot of risk is also while netting the Kommu Konam fish. Unlike other fishes, Marlin fish attack with its sharp snout. The fishermen also said the size of the fish ranges from 50 kgs to 150 kgs. EOM

Road rage at 136 km/hour speed to chase ex's wife: Indian-origin woman Sharanjit Kaur jailed in New Zealand for killing man
Sharanjit Kaur was sentenced to four years in prison after killing a man in road rage in New Zealand. (Photo: Waikato Times) An Indian-origin woman, Sharanjit Kaur, has been sentenced to four years in jail after she pleaded guilty to reckless driving causing death of Jonathan Baker. The road rage took place on June 27 last year and the sentence was handed down by Hamilton District Court, New Zealand. According to reports, Kaur was triggered after she saw a photograph of her ex, referred to Mr R in court documents, with his wife and family at an Indian restaurant. It is not clear whether the man was her ex or current partner. Kaur confronted the man and then started following the wife, referred to as Mrs R. Court documents revealed that Kaur followed Mrs R at high speed, tailgating, brake-checking, and attempting to intimidate her. She drove recklessly on the wrong side of Boyd Road at speeds between 125–136 km/h before smashing into Baker's vehicle. He died instantly and Kaur sustained minor injuries. 'Mistress chasing the a bad novel' 49-year-old Baker's widow Andrea told the court how devastated she was when she received the news of her husband's death. She said her Christian faith prompted her to forgive Kaur. 'In forgiveness for me comes freedom in the long run... I do forgive you, my hope is with you hearing these words... by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pernas e tornozelos inchados?

'The mistress chasing the wife... is beyond comprehension, it's like a bad novel'. She said a drunk or drugged driver-or even an angry wife chasing a mistress - would have made some sense. Kaur's lawyer Anjeet Singh said she knew nothing she could say would alleviate the Bakers' pain, but her client 'accepts full responsibility'. She said the photo 'led to a psychological collapse... Something more than rage'. The photo brought forth years of turmoil and uncertainty around her eight-year relationship, she said pleading for home detention, which was rejected.

Kochi: High court on Thursday directed the state govt to share copies of the draft amendments to the Prohibition of Ragging (Kerala) Act and Rules with stakeholders, including the counsels for Kerala Legal Services Authority (KeLSA) and University Grants Commission (UGC), within a week. The directive was issued by the bench of Chief Justice Nitin Jamdar and Justice C Jayachandran in a petition filed by KeLSA, which sought a direction to the govt to reassess the Act and frame rules to ensure the effective eradication of ragging. During hearing, director general of prosecution (DGP) placed on record a communication from the home department additional chief secretary stating that the subcommittee constituted for preparing the draft amendments had submitted the same. It was further informed that the home department is currently seeking comments from stakeholder departments before proceeding with the finalisation of the amendments. However, HC observed that the drafts had not been placed before the bench and accordingly directed the state to furnish copies to the counsels for KeLSA and UGC to facilitate their suggestions. Meanwhile, KeLSA's counsel requested that the proposed amendment include a broad definition of 'educational institution' to curb the menace of ragging both within and beyond campus premises. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo KeLSA had filed the public interest litigation in response to the ragging incident at the Government College of Nursing, Kottayam, where junior students were reportedly subjected to severe physical abuse, including the tying of dumbbells to their private parts.
