Kochi woke up to somber news this Tuesday following the tragic discovery of Jain P.V., a respected 47-year-old figure within the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC). Jain, who served as a district convenor for the party’s digital media cell and held the secretary position for the Vyttila block committee, was found dead in a lodge near Kacheripady on Monday evening, September 29, 2025.
Authorities are currently investigating the incident, which is being treated as a suspected suicide. Police sources indicate that financial difficulties are believed to be a significant factor in his untimely death. Colleagues from the Congress party shared that Jain P.V. also worked with an IT firm, and the lodge room where he was found often functioned as his professional workspace.
Jain P.V. is survived by his beloved wife and two sons. His cremation took place at the Pachalam public crematorium earlier on Tuesday.
