A food delivery executive was found dead in a water-logged ditch along the Chevarambalam Bypass Road in Kozhikode city on Monday (February 3). The victim was identified as M. Ranjith, a resident of Elathur.
According to police sources, Ranjith’s motorcycle fell into an uncovered ditch around 1 a.m. while he was en route to deliver food to a nearby residential area.
The police officers from Chevayur station reviewed CCTV footage from multiple locations to rule out the involvement of any other vehicles in the accident.
This was the second major accident caused by the uncovered ditch. Despite repeated protests from local residents, it had remained open, posing a serious safety hazard. On Monday, the spot was covered with concrete barricades following the intervention of the police.
