MANIMALA: Yohannan and Sisamma are yet to recover from the shock of the death of their two sons. They died in an accident caused by a vehicle driven carelessly by MP Jose K Mani's son KM Mani Jr. (Kunhu Mani).
The accident happened on the Punalur-Muvattupuzha highway on the eve of Easter. Mathew John (Jis, 35) and Jins John (30) were killed when the Innova driven by Kunjumani hit them. Both of them were DYFI workers. Jis's pregnant wife, Ansu, has not yet recovered from the shock of her beloved's sudden departure. Jins is unmarried.
The death of Jis and Jins, who were aluminum fabrication workers, left the family orphaned. The family lived on just the income of both. Jis, who was living in a rented house, had paid an advance for buying six cents of land for building his dream house. He was very happy when he got to know that Ansu is pregnant after waiting for a long time after marriage. Jis didn't leave despite getting a job in the Gulf to be with Ansu who was three months pregnant. Jins was going to work abroad to settle the family's financial burdens. Officials of DYFI Manimala region said that they will provide the necessary assistance to the family. Relatives demanded that Ansu should be given a government job.
Police playing hide and seek without filing a report
Kunjumani, who caused an accident by careless driving, was arrested, but the police have not yet given the report to cancel his license to the Kanjirapalli Joint RTO. It has not been clarified when will they do so either. Joint RTO said that if the report is received, the accused will be summoned and the license will be canceled for six months after hearing the explanation.
