PALAKKAD: A 65-year-old man, who was undergoing treatment after being stabbed by his 16-year-old grandson, has died. The dead has been identified as Sulaiman (65) of Vazhakkachira, Kavasseri.

The incident happened at their home on October 19 at around 7 pm. The 16-year-old, son of Sulaiman's daughter, attempted to stab his 10-year-old sister with a knife during a verbal altercation. Sulaiman was stabbed while trying to rescue his granddaughter. He suffered deep wounds to his chest, abdomen, and neck.

Although Sulaiman was initially admitted to a private hospital in Alathur, he was later shifted to the Thrissur Medical College as his condition turned critical. He passed away last night while undergoing treatment. The accused, who had gone into hiding after the incident, was later apprehended by the police. An investigation into the background of the accused is underway.
