Muslim Youth League and Youth Congress workers have alleged that the youth drowned as a result of the police action. However, his family members denied his involvement in the protests and dismissed the claims as baseless. The reluctance of the police to carry out an immediate search in the river ruined Fasal’s chances of being saved, the family said. The family members of Fasal Rahman, who drowned in the Iruvazhinji river last Saturday allegedly after being chased by the police, have held the Mukkom police responsible for his death. The police said they had not carried out a late night search in the river, assuming that the youth had swum to safety.
