'Investigate role of Ananthu's sister's live-in partner'; RSS files complaint with DySP, accused's shop vandalised

KOTTAYAM: DYFI and Congress came with strong protests over the suicide of Kottayam native Ananthu Aji. A video made by Ananthu surfaced after he died in which he alleged facing repeated sexual torture inside the RSS camp. The protestors demanded that police arrest Nidheesh Murali, whom Ananthu pointed out as the main perpetrator. Nidheesh is now absconding.

Nidheesh’s shop, which sells medical equipment in Kanjirappally, was vandalised by DYFI workers. Youth Congress workers marched to the DySP office and blocked Ponkunnam Road. Meanwhile, the Thampanoor police have decided to proceed with further investigation after receiving legal advice.

Ananthu Aji:

“I faced harassment from many places. All of the perpetrators were men. If you are watching the video, let me warn you that there are people you should never interact with; they are RSS workers. The violence and torture inside the RSS camp are inexplicable. I have experienced it. They harass children mentally and physically. Just ask for opinions from people, and you will know. They sexually harass children. They will physically harass them. I don’t have any evidence to substantiate my allegations. After all these years, how will I get any evidence?

Never interact with an RSS person in your life. It has happened to many people, not just me. I will tell you the name of the person who harassed me. He is Nidheesh Murali, everyone's beloved Kannan Chettan. I can’t continue to live like this.”

Meanwhile, the RSS leadership has also filed a complaint with the Kanjirappally DySP demanding that the truth be brought out. The RSS has also demanded an investigation into the role of Anzil, the live-in partner of Ananthu’s sister.

The Kottayam district police chief informed the complainants that the case is under investigation by the Thampanoor police and that further action will be taken only after receiving legal advice.
