Tiruchirappalli: Upset over his wife, who had stopped talking to him, a man allegedly got drunk and set afire a car, a building and two-wheelers in this town of Tamil Nadu, police said Saturday. This incident took place Friday.

The man in his mid-30s, who was arrested this morning, was without a job for sometime. He refused to look out for one. This angered his wife who was working in a hospital, they said.

The woman stopped speaking to him for the past several days, the police said. Dejected by this, he went berserk, they said.
