What began as a search for employment ended in an unthinkable tragedy for a young migrant worker from Chhattisgarh. Thirty-one-year-old Ramnarayan Baghel, 31, a resident of Sakti district, travelled to Kerala in search of work. However, this search turned fatal after Ramnarayan was beaten to death by a mob in Palakkad district after being mistaken for a Bangladeshi national.

On the evening of December 17, in the Attapallam area under Valayar police station limits, local residents detained him on suspicion of theft and questioned his identity. What followed was a brutal assault. According to the police, no stolen property was recovered from him.
