Rahul Gandhi visits house of tribal man found dead in Kozhikode

Gandhi, who represents the Wayanad constituency in the Lok Sabha, spent some time with the family, listening to their woes and complaints and consoled them.

ആൾക്കൂട്ട വിചാരണയിൽ ജീവൻ നഷ്ടപ്പെട്ട അഡ്ലൈഡ് പാറവയൽ കോളനിയിലെ വിശ്വനാഥന്റെ വീട് സന്ദർശിച്ചു. ഇത്തരം അനിഷ്ടസംഭവങ്ങൾ ആവർത്തിക്കാതിരിക്കാനുള്ള ജാഗ്രത നമ്മൾ ഓരോരുത്തർക്കും ഉണ്ടാകേണ്ടതുണ്ട്.

സമഗ്രമായ അന്വേഷണം നടക്കണം. വിശ്വനാഥന്റെ കുടുംബത്തിന് നീതി ലഭിക്കണം. pic.twitter.com/4TGfHFZthL

Kozhikode Medical College police have said that they have already registered a case when the relatives lodged a complaint that the tribal man was missing from the hospital. However, Vishwanathan was later found hanging on 11 February.

The family alleged that some persons had harassed Vishwanathan on 9 February after which he went missing. The kin had charged that some persons accused Vishwanathan of theft and roughed him up.

This was the first visit of Gandhi to his constituency after successfully completing the over 4,000-km-long Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir on 30 January.

Gandhi was accorded a warm reception by the party leaders and workers outside the Kozhikode International airport on Sunday.
