A shocking discovery on July 11, 2025, has rocked the Kerala state government. A staff member attached to a minister&rsquo;s office was found dead, hanging inside locked official quarters. The incident occurred at a government residential complex, prompting immediate police action.
Police officers forced entry into the locked room after other staff members failed to receive any response. Upon entry, they found the body suspended from the ceiling, with no immediate signs of forced entry into the premises. The local police have registered a case and launched a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death.
Local authorities have refrained ruling out any possibility of either suicide, foul play, or negligence and have called for a forensic examination and post-mortem to confirm the cause of death. Colleagues described the deceased who had personal problems going on. However, nothing was concerning with his official duties.
An internal departmental inquiry has also been initiated to review his phone calls and security practices within government housing facilities. Depending on the forensic findings, further actions including a potential judicial or external probe, may be considered.
