THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A police driver was found hanging in the station. He has been identified as Manoj (42) of Palayamkunnu in Kallambalam and driver of Kallambalam police station. He was found hanging last night. He was taking rest after duty in his room. His colleagues who came after VIP pilot duty found him hanging. They immediately untied the rope and took him to the private hospital nearby and then to the medical college hospital, but his life could not be saved.
The police said the allegations that he took the drastic step due to duty related pressure were baseless. His relatives said that he neither had any family issues nor any financial liability. A probe led by Attingal DySP has started.
The body will be handed over to his relatives after post-mortem. He leaves behind his wife Liji and children Krishnajith and Aleesha Krishna.
