A 13-year-old boy, Sanu Fiyas, tragically drowned in the Cherupuzha river in Chathamangalam, Kozhikode on October 4, 2026. Sanu, the son of Shameer from Palattummal, was last seen entering the river near Choyimadam road around 2:30 p.m. with another boy. Upon experiencing difficulty in the water, a third child alerted locals, who swiftly gathered at the scene.
Despite the efforts of these well-wishers, Sanu was the only boy not rescued. The Fire and Rescue Services were subsequently alerted, leading a search operation. His body was eventually recovered by the district scuba diving team. The rescue mission involved personnel from Mukkom and Vellimadukunnu fire and rescue stations, under the leadership of Mukkom Station Officer E.K. Abdul Saleem.
