Fans, friends, and the family are aggrieved alike over the untimely death of Rifa Mehnu, popular Malayali vlogger on food and fashion, in Dubai recently.
The 21-year-old, a native of Eenthad village, near Kakkur in Kozhikode district, was found dead at her residence at Al-Jafilia on Tuesday. The Dubai police have reportedly initiated a probe into the incident.
Rifa had been working at a purdah shop in Karama in Dubai. Local sources said that her parents, Ambalapparambil Rashid and Sherina, and two-year-old son Hasan Mehnu, had spoken to her on Monday night too. Less than a day later, what they heard through a relative in Dubai was the news of Rifa’s death. She had left her child with her parents before returning to Dubai a month ago.
