The name Jolly has been in the media for the past few days for the wrong reasons. It’s not only the family of the prime accused Jolly in the murder case that was embarrassed. A group of people who don’t even know the accused are now getting ashamed through posts on social media.
There is a junction in Eravipuram-Mayyanad Road in Kollam named Jolly Junction. As the media was behind the Koodathai murders, someone posted the board on which it is written ‘Jolly Junction’ on social media. The photo went viral.
This has brought shame to people including students who come from here. Students say that their classmates are making fun of them and the elders say that colleagues are mocking them at their workplace. The bus staff state that nobody is taking tickets for ‘Jolly Junction’. Now the locals are thinking about changing the name of the junction.
