According to friends and relatives, Manikuttan was under stress as a result of debt.

He had lately bought a house as well as a small motel close to his home.

After examining the hotel two days earlier, the food safety officials fined Manikuttan Rs 50,000 and temporarily closed it down.

According to a neighbor, Manikuttan had completed all the necessary preparations for his hotel to operate on Saturday.

The neighbor stated that a hotel employee who visited Manikuttan’s home on Saturday learned about the mass suicide and informed the authorities.

The police have started their probe.
