Hello
The deceased Malayalis are Ajith Vallikode (40), a native of Konni, and Rajkumar (38) from Palakkad.
Pilgrims are pouring in huge numbers to Sabarimala to see Lord Ayappa.
Naveen was found dead at his official quarters in Kannur on Tuesday morning.
He is a native of Sakthikulangara in Kollam.
The government was expected to open up 80,000 slots under the virtual queue system.
The incident happened around 8 am on Wednesday, near Medical Trust Hospital at Kulanada.
The stolen items include gold jewellery, a mobile phone, and their bags.
The minister added that the government and the TDB have set a daily limit of 80,000 pilgrims to ensure a smooth and safe pilgrimage experience.
The organisations accused the government of introducing the virtual queue system with the ulterior motive of controlling pilgrims arriving at Sabarimala under the guise of restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The body was kept for public viewing between 1 and 2 pm
