He was rushed to a nearby hospital, but doctors were unable to save his life. The body was later shifted to Kasaragod Government General Hospital for post-mortem examination. The incident has sparked criticism after it emerged that no safety measures had reportedly been put in place around the under-construction building or the septic tank, despite the area being frequented by residents. The absence of protective barriers or warning signs has raised questions about negligence and compliance with basic construction safety norms.
