A Malayali youth from Vaikom has been found dead under mysterious circumstances in Poland, raising concerns among his family and the local community. The body was discovered in the Racziborz River on March 7, 2025, after the individual had been missing since December 24, 2024.
According to reports, the youth had been unaccounted for since late December, prompting his relatives to travel to Poland and file a missing person report with local authorities. Subsequent investigations led to the recovery of his body from the river. The Indian Embassy in Poland is currently working closely with the family to facilitate necessary procedures, although specific details, including the individual’s identity, have yet to be officially disclosed.
The incident has drawn comparisons to a previous case involving Ashiq Raghu, a 23-year-old from Thrissur, Kerala, who was found dead in Poland in April 2024. Ashiq had suffered multiple injuries, including a fatal head wound, prompting his family to call for a thorough investigation into the circumstances of his death.
The recurring nature of such incidents has alarmed the Malayali expatriate community, intensifying concerns over the safety of individuals living abroad. Many are urging authorities to conduct comprehensive investigations and take necessary measures to ensure the well-being of Indian nationals residing in foreign countries.
As the latest case unfolds, the Indian Embassy and Polish authorities are expected to provide further updates regarding the cause of death and ongoing investigations. The family, along with the wider Malayali community, remains hopeful for clarity and justice in this tragic incident.
