Investigation Underway into Mysterious Deaths
In a shocking incident, two security guards employed by the North Malabar Gramin Bank’s Iritty branch in Kannur district of Kerala were found deceased within the bank premises on Monday morning.
According to initial reports, the guards, identified as 55-year-old Sasindran and 48-year-old Suresh, were found unresponsive inside the cash vault of the bank. Police and bank officials were immediately notified, and an investigation has been launched into their untimely deaths.
Preliminary Findings
Preliminary investigations indicate that the guards may have died due to suspected gas poisoning. The vault where their bodies were discovered had no signs of forced entry or any struggle. Toxicology reports are being analyzed to determine the exact cause of death.
The bank’s CCTV footage is being scrutinized to piece together events leading up to the incident. However, due to a power outage that occurred overnight, there is a gap in the footage that may hinder the investigation.
Possible Motive
Authorities are exploring various angles to determine a possible motive behind the deaths. Speculation has arisen that the guards may have been killed to facilitate a robbery, but no evidence has yet emerged to support this theory.
Investigation Continues
The investigation is ongoing, and police are working closely with bank officials to determine the circumstances surrounding the guards’ deaths. The community has been left in shock and mourning after this tragic incident.
The Superintendent of Police, Kannur district, has assured the public that a thorough investigation will be conducted to bring the truth to light and hold those responsible accountable.
Call for Swift Action
In the wake of this incident, there have been calls for enhanced security measures at banks and other financial institutions. Experts emphasize the need for robust safety protocols, regular training for security personnel, and investment in state-of-the-art surveillance technology.
The untimely deaths of Sasindran and Suresh serve as a grim reminder of the importance of ensuring the safety and security of those entrusted with protecting our valuable assets.
