THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Police have stated that a detailed investigation into the tragic death of 20-year-old Sanoj—whose body was recovered from an abandoned well near his female friend’s residence in Karimkulam, Poovar—will proceed following thorough scientific examination. Authorities confirmed that the mobile phone and food packet retrieved from the well will be sent for forensic analysis. According to the statement given by the girl’s mother, only her daughter and grandfather were at home on the day of the incident.
Sanoj was found dead in the disused well on the 23rd of last month. He had left his residence informing his family that he was visiting a friend and would stay overnight. However, the family learned of his disappearance only after contacting the friend directly. Three days later, Sanoj’s body was discovered inside the abandoned well located near his female friend’s house.
The recovery of the body from a shallow well with minimal water levels raised serious suspicions, prompting the victim’s family to allege foul play and demand a murder probe. Meanwhile, Sanoj’s mobile phone was eventually recovered from the well; however, relatives raised strong allegations that the device was missing during two prior inspections of the site. Earlier findings also revealed that Sanoj had purchased shawarma on the day of the incident following instructions from his female friend, and police are continuing their probe into all aspects of the case.
