3 men end lives in separate incidents

Thiruvananthapuram: Parassala police on Saturday recorded three cases of suspected suicides in which all the deceased happened to be young men in their 20s.
Jain Lal, 25, son of late Yesudas and Little Flower of Ponvila; Sajumon, 26, son of Madhukumar and Santha of Kottamam; and Vineeth, 21, son of Vijayan and Devi of Venkavila, were found hanging in their bedrooms.
Jain Lal’s relatives said he was a BTech graduate who was searching for jobs. He was also attending coaching classes for the Public Service Commission exam. His maternal uncle Selvaraj said Jain was upset over not being able to secure a job even after completing his graduation a few years ago. All his friends had already managed to find jobs. His father Yesudas had died 14 years ago. He was raised by his mother Little Flower, who worked at a milk society at Ponvila. He has no siblings.
Sajumon was a painting labourer. According to his relatives, he had gone to work on Friday too. As usual, he went to sleep after dinner on Friday night but was found hanging in his bedroom on Saturday morning. He is survived by his parents and a sister Soumyamol T.
The third death was reported on Saturday afternoon. Vineeth, an ITI student, was also undergoing training to attend the military recruitment rally. It was his sister Vineesha who found him hanging in his bedroom.
The police said the deceased were not known to each other. It could be a mere coincidence that they chose to end their lives in a similar way on the same day. The families of Sajumon and Vineeth are clueless regarding the possible reasons that could have driven them to opt for suicide.
In another suspected case of suicide, the body of a man who allegedly jumped into the Vamanapuram river from Karett under Venjarammood police station limits on Tuesday night was recovered from the river bank at Kanichod on Saturday. He was identified to be Abhilash a resident of Nellanad who worked as a lab assistant. His family had reported him missing since Tuesday night.
