The New Indian Express Kozhikode
|July 18, 2025
"ENTE PONNUMONE!" Maniyamma's cries echoed through the halls of her house in Sasthamcotta, for she could not bear the loss of her dear grandchild.
It was she who looked after him after his mother recently left for Kuwait for a job.
"All that I know is that I lost my son," said Midhun's father Manu, before a near breakdown. He had promised his son that they would buy new footwear that evening, but his teenage son never entered the home alive.
Midhun's younger brother Sujin didn't know how to respond, as he stared through the walls of his home. "Manu Bhavan" remained in grief, as the entire locality gathered to mourn Midhun's untimely demise.
