Alappuzha (Kerala), Feb 10 (NationPress) A 25-year-old individual Kiran has been arrested by the Kerala Police on Monday for the alleged electrocution of his mother’s friend in Punnapara, close to this area. The deceased has been identified as Dineshan, aged 58.

Residents reported that Dineshan was found lying in a paddy field since Sunday morning. “He is known to consume alcohol, and locals observed him lying there for an extended period. The local councillor and police were notified after concerns arose,” stated the community members.

“The police arrived on the scene only to discover that Dineshan had already deceased. The body was subsequently sent for a post-mortem examination,” the locals added.

“Upon receiving the post-mortem results on Monday, it was confirmed that he died from electrocution, prompting a murder investigation. After interrogating several individuals, Kiran was apprehended as he was taken back to the location of the crime,” remarked locals, who remain in disbelief.

“Those who witnessed Dineshan's body being transported to the hospital noted that it appeared somewhat disfigured,” mentioned another community member.

Following the incident, Dineshan was moved outside where he was subjected to another round of electrocution.

Ultimately, his lifeless body was disposed of in the nearby paddy field.

The police have now focused their investigation on Kiran, bringing him back to the crime scene on Monday.

Moreover, authorities are questioning Kiran's parents, suspecting that this could be a murder case involving additional accomplices beyond Kiran.
