The investigation into the brutal mob lynching of a migrant worker in Kerala\u2019s Walayar has widened significantly, with police identifying 15 individuals\u2014including women\u2014as accused in the case. The victim, Ramnarayan Bhayyari (31), a native of Chhattisgarh, was allegedly beaten to death by a local mob on suspicions of theft, amid claims of racial prejudice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The killing occurred on Wednesday evening at Attappallam near Walayar, where Ramnarayan, who had recently arrived in Kerala for work, was intercepted by a group of locals. According to investigators, the mob subjected him to an informal \u201ctrial,\u201d filmed on mobile phones, before assaulting him with sticks and repeatedly kicking him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Initially, five men\u2014Ananthan (55), A. Anu (38), C. Prasad (34), C. Murali (38), and K. Bibin (30)\u2014were arrested. Following public outrage and emerging evidence, the District Crime Branch has taken over the probe and expanded the accused list to 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
The victim\u2019s family, who traveled from Chhattisgarh, along with human rights activists, have demanded \u20b925 lakh compensation. They have also urged the state government to officially classify the incident as \u201cmob lynching\u201d rather than an ordinary murder, arguing that this would ensure a more rigorous prosecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Five accused remain in judicial custody. Police are analyzing CCTV footage and bystander videos to identify and arrest the remaining 10 suspects. The District Crime Branch continues to lead the investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
