1 burnt to death after moving car catches fire at Venganoor in Thiruvananthapuram
A family dispute had allegedly taken place in his home in Kottayam prior to his journey
A man perished in a car fire incident at Venganoor in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, on Monday morning. The deceased, identified as Titus Kurian, originally from Ettumanoor in Kottayam, was traveling in his vehicle. Reports suggest he had left his home in Ettumanoor late on Sunday and was en route to Thiruvananthapuram. A family dispute allegedly occurred at his residence before his journey.
Upon reaching Venganoor, smoke started emanating from the car. The vehicle quickly turned into a blazing inferno as it collided with tree branches and consumed the roadside vegetation. Neighbors and passerby were alerted by the car's burglar alarm. Despite attempts to rescue the driver by opening the rear door, the intense flames made the rescue efforts futile.
The charred body was discovered within the vehicle, making immediate identification impossible. Police traced Titus's identity through the car's registration details. His family was informed, and efforts are underway to authenticate his identity using scientific methods to determine the incident's cause. Police have not dismissed the possibility of suicide. For suicide prevention assistance, contact DISHA at 1056 or 0471-2552056.
