Overview

• Police said the incident unfolded in the early hours at Neduvathoor, where a woman identified as Archana reportedly jumped into a municipal well beside her house.
• The deceased were identified as firefighter Sonu S. Kumar, 36, Archana, 33, and her partner Sivakrishnan, 22, according to Kollam police.
• Responders reported that Kumar abseiled into the well to reach Archana when the concrete barricade around the reservoir gave way.
• Investigators said debris pinned all three at the bottom after Sivakrishnan, who was leaning into the well, also fell in; they were extricated by rescuers and locals and later pronounced dead at a hospital.
• Police cited a preliminary account linking Archana’s actions to a domestic dispute over a missing alcohol bottle and noted they recovered videos she posted showing injuries as the inquiry continues.
