Changanachery : The body of 24-year-old Kurichi native Aji was found in a quarry pond Thursday after he was reported missing 2 days ago. Aji, son of Sadanandan from Vazparambil in Malakanam, failed to come home on Tuesday. Family and neighbours conducted a search in the area and reported the matter to police.
Meanwhile, several kilometeres away in Pallithode, locals noticed a scooter parked since two days by the Mulur quarry pond. They alerted the police who searched the area and came upon Aji’s body.
Relatives wonder why Aji would travel such long distance from his home in Kurchi to this quarry? Police have registered a case of unnatural death and are awaiting postmortem report before proceeding with investigations.
