Aluva Atul Murder Case

Aluva Athul (real name Atul, aged 30) was a notorious gangster from Oachira who was hacked to death in broad daylight on March 14, 2026, in Karunagappally, Kollam.

The Ambush: Athul was returning from the Karunagappally Police Station after fulfilling a mandatory bail condition to sign the attendance register.

The Attack: A gang in a Haryana-registered Innova chased and intentionally rammed his blue Swift car, forcing it into a ditch dug for flyover construction. The assailants then smashed the car windows and brutally hacked Athul with machetes and iron rods.

Outcome: Athul sustained fatal injuries to his head and legs and was declared dead upon arrival at a nearby hospital. His companion, Manu (also known as Kuku), was also injured but survived the attack. 

Motive: Gang Rivalry & Retaliation
The murder is believed to be a retaliatory act linked to the ongoing feud between the Wayanakam and Kudathur gangs.
