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

Inquiry report exposes irregularities in Nemom Service Cooperative Bank
Thiruvananthapuram : An inquiry into the irregularities surrounding Nemom Service Cooperative Bank, held as per Section 65 of Kerala Co-operative Societies Act, revealed fraud committed by members of the society's administrative panel. The report states that the bank received investments worth Rs 112 crore and Rs 52 crore were given as loans. Most of these loans were benefited by the accused and also by people close to them. However, not even a single penny was repaid, the report said. As per report, former secretary Balachandran Nair's wife P K Sreekala took loans worth Rs 10 lakh. A R Rajendran, who is also a former secretary, along with his wife Sreejakumari, children and son-in-law, also took loans worth lakhs of rupees. Some of the accused took loans up to Rs 25 lakh from the bank by pledging properties. However, they soon got the documents released with the help of the then secretaries. The existing liabilities of the loans at the bank were not marked in the encumbrance certificates even as the accused took loans using the same documents from other banks. Agricultural loans were provided only to the accused, their relatives and party members. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Honda SP125: Now with More Power & Style Honda Learn More Undo They took agricultural loans of Rs 10 lakh from the bank at 4% interest and deposited the money for 9.5% interest in the bank itself. They collected the interest on the deposit but did not repay the interest or the loan amount. Even the elections of panel members did not comply with the rules, the report said. No general body meeting was held at the bank since 2018, the report added. Using the documents of properties of people who took loans from the bank, the accused took other loans without their knowledge. The consent of the joint registrar is required to appoint people on a contract basis at the society. But the accused appointed their kith and kin at various positions at higher salaries and the bank incurred a loss of Rs 14.21 lakh because of this. The fixed deposit (FD) receipts have to be certified by the secretary, but here even retired staff were found to have certified FD receipts. "The report reveals grave irregularities, and the accused must be brought before the law at any cost. Measures must be taken to provide money back to the depositors," said Santhivila Mujeeb Rahman, patron of the depositors' forum. There are as many as six accused in the case. Former secretary of the bank S Balachandran Nair and former president R Pradeep Kumar were arrested earlier. The third and fourth accused former secretary A R Rajendran and cashier Vasanth along with two other board members are still absconding and the search has been intensified for them," said the probe team.

Man in jail plots RTI activist's murder in Ghaziabad, 4 he hired held
1 2 Ghaziabad: Three persons were arrested on Saturday and Sunday in connection with allegedly trying to kill RTI activist, Amit Kishore Jain. The fourth accused was already held earlier this week. According to police, the four accused are Ashwani alias Dilawar, Amit Yadav, Priyanshu Gautam alias Yash, and Priyanshu Teotia. On July 2, police nabbed Teotia and sent him to judicial custody. Based on the interrogation, it was revealed that Anurag Garg, an accused named in the FIR and already in police custody, allegedly hired them to murder Jain. The case stems from a June 17 complaint by Jain, a resident of Ramprastha Colony, who complained that unknown assailants fired at him with the intent to kill, leaving him injured on Link Road. A case was registered under BNS sections 61 (conspiracy), 109 (attempt to murder), and 232 (threatening false evidence).

During the recovery of the crime's motorcycle and mobile, two suspects, Ashwani and Yadav, were injured and arrested in an encounter late Saturday night.

On Sunday, acting on a tip, police arrested another accused, Gautam, from Lal Kuan. It was revealed that Garg (currently jailed) had property dealings along GT Road (Lal Kuan to Dadri) between 2013-2016, where he met Yadav, who worked in plot filling. In 2017, Garg was imprisoned in Noida for running a fake company. After release, he kept in touch with Yadav, claiming Jain had seized his property and allegedly offered Rs 5 lakh to kill him. Yadav agreed, roping in Gautam, who then brought in Teotia and his cousin Ashwani to plot the murder. On April 15, 2025, the four accused met with Garg in jail, where he gave them a black Lava mobile phone containing multiple photographs of Jain, including images of his residence, his vehicles (a scooter and motorcycle), and his contact details. He also paid them an advance amount of Rs 50,000 with the promise of the remaining Rs 4.5 lakh upon completion of the job. Following this transaction, the accused conducted a thorough study of Jain's residence, carefully studying the layout and surroundings of the property in preparation for the planned attack. After confirming the location's viability, the accused decided to execute the murder on June 16, 2025. Ashwani and Teotia were equipped with firearms and ammunition, with Ashwani retaining the Lava mobile. Following the plan, Yadav and Gautam dropped Ashwani and Teotia on an Apache motorcycle at Ramprastha Colony. After shooting Jain outside his home, the duo disposed of the weapon during their escape and subsequently hid the gun, motorcycle, and mobile phone at different locations before reporting the completed task.
