Tragic Loss in Vakkom: Panchayat Member and Mother Found Dead

A shocking incident unfolded in Vakkom village as the bodies of Arun, a grama panchayat ward member, and his mother, Valsala, were discovered hanging at their residence on Monday morning.

The case is currently being treated as a suicide by local police, who are conducting a thorough investigation to determine the motives behind this tragic event.

Reports suggest Arun left a note citing distress over false allegations, implicating certain residents, although official confirmation is pending. A prior case under the SC/ST Act adds complexity to the circumstances leading to their deaths.
