Tragedy Strikes Kerala Sports Hostel as Two Teenage Trainees Found Dead
Police in Kerala reported a heartbreaking incident on Thursday morning. Two young sports trainees staying at a Sports Authority of India hostel were discovered dead in their room.
Details of the Deceased Girls
The victims have been identified as Sandra, aged 17, from Kozhikode district, and Vyshnavi, aged 15, from Thiruvananthapuram district. Sandra was an athletics trainee currently studying in Plus Two. Vyshnavi played kabaddi and was a Class 10 student.
How the Incident Unfolded
The grim discovery happened around 5 am. Fellow hostel inmates noticed both girls had missed their morning training session. They grew concerned when repeated knocks on Sandra's door received no response.
Hostel authorities then took action. They broke open the door to find both girls hanging from ceiling fans inside the room. Police confirmed this disturbing detail in their initial report.
Investigators revealed an important fact about the night before. Vyshnavi normally stayed in a different room but had spent Wednesday night in Sandra's room. Other hostel inmates reported seeing both girls early that morning.
Police Investigation Underway
Kollam East police have launched a full investigation into the tragic deaths. Officers stated they have not yet determined the reason behind the incident. No suicide note was recovered from the room.
Police officials outlined their next steps. They plan to record statements from several key individuals:
- Other sportspersons staying at the hostel
- Trainers and coaching staff
- Relatives of the deceased girls
The bodies will undergo post-mortem examinations. After this procedure, authorities will hand them over to the grieving families.
This incident has sent shockwaves through the sports community in Kerala. Young athletes training at SAI facilities represent the future of Indian sports. Their sudden loss raises serious questions about hostel conditions and student welfare.
Police continue their probe while the sports community mourns these promising young lives cut short. The investigation aims to provide answers to devastated families and prevent similar tragedies in the future.
