Congress leader Jose Nelledam, an influential member of Wayanad's Mullankolli Grama Panchayat, was discovered dead in a pond adjacent to his residence on Friday. Preliminary findings from Kerala police indicate that he seemingly attempted suicide by slashing his wrist, ingesting poison, and subsequently leaping into the water.
A neighbor spotted him and promptly rushed him to a private healthcare facility in Pulpally, where he was declared dead on arrival. Jose represented the second ward, Bhoothanamkunnu, within Mullankolli and had been embroiled in controversy linked to a false case against fellow Congress affiliate, Thankachan, who was recently exonerated by the judiciary.
The Pulpally police have initiated a probe to determine the circumstances surrounding Nelledam's demise, which occurs during Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's significant 10-day tour of her constituency in Wayanad. Further updates are awaited as investigations proceed.
