Keezhvaypoor (Pathanamthitta): Ever since the news of Sibin's death in the Kuwait fire broke, people have been pouring into the Thevarottu house in Neythelippadi without pause.
Sibin, who had returned from a vacation only in February, had called his wife, Anjumol, just half an hour before the accident. She is still in shock from the devastating news. The couple had been married for about a year and a half.
Upon hearing about the fire in Kuwait, Sibin's relatives tried contacting him several times, but there was no response, only the sound of his phone ringing. They learned of his death amid hopes that he was not involved in the accident.
Sibin had been staying on the second floor of the apartment that caught fire. His sister Seeba and her family also live in Kuwait.
Friends recall that Sibin was an active member of the Yuvajanasakhyam and the Sunday school. Among those who visited his residence to console the family were former Rajya Sabha Deputy Speaker PJ Kurien and Anto Antony MP, accompanied by Joseph M Puthussery, Kunjukoshy Paul, Aby Mekkaringatt, MK Subash Kumar, KG Sabu, and Bency Alex.
