Police said Unni was taken to a nearby hospital but could not be saved.

 

Meanwhile, his family said the rope was tied across the road without any warning, and in the night, it was difficult to identify it.

 

"The rope was tied as part of the security arrangements for the PM's visit. However, there was no ribbon or any reflective markers to make it visible at night," a relative told the media.

 

PM Modi will address two public meetings today as part of the BJP's election campaign in Kerala.
