Payyannur tahsildar is suspended in connection with the transport of Kerala flood rescuer Rajesh’s body, which authorities say was carried without a freezer. The action follows an inquiry report submitted to the state government about how the body was handled after his death.
According to reports, Revenue Minister A. P. Anilkumar directs the Land Revenue Commissioner to suspend the tahsildar after receiving the Kannur District Collector’s inquiry findings. The accounts describe the measure as a response to alleged lapses in procedure during the transport process. While the headlines focus on the absence of a freezer, both sources present the suspension as based on the inquiry and ministerial order, with the district collector’s report serving as the trigger for the disciplinary step.
The two outlets align on the core sequence—body transport without a freezer, inquiry, and subsequent suspension—while differing mainly in emphasis and wording around the administrative steps and the parties involved.
