Kerala Chief Minister Revises Rain Death Toll to 15 After Reporting Eight Dead on August 2

V D Satheesan stated the casualty count nearly doubled within 24 hours, though no breakdown has been published to reconcile the two figures.

Heavy rains across Kerala killed eight people and left eight others missing as of August 2, according to reports from Mid-day and Deccan Herald that carried identical casualty counts on that date [1][3]. Both publications also confirmed 13 injuries resulting from the severe monsoon weather [1][3]. These figures represent the last independently corroborated tally available in the record before the state government issued a revised assessment the following day.
