The love of Lakshmi Priya and Sivaram: when the girl goes to college from school, she gets a second lover Amal – so the kidnapping, beating, naked video and all followed!
From Westernization to Americanization: The behavior of the school and college students has been worsening day by day crossing all the limits of decency and decorum. Under the guise of modernism, westernization, now can be mentioned as Americanization, most of them have been diverted to such style, dress, food, drinks and all other snobberies, unfortunately, including drugs. The parents, guardians and others have also been allowing such behaviour or the students have been carrying out, without informing about their love-drug and such other undesirable activities. The girl and boy students ha veen seen going together holding hand-in-hand and embracing each other in front of others. Kissing also common in certain campuses and it is nor know, what the parents would feel, if they happen to see such scenes. In recent days, the Kerala students have been exhibiting such characteristics and news have also been coming.
Quotation gangs of Kerala[1]: ‘Quotation gangs’ are composed of young men of all castes and creeds, and all economic classes; they have well-specified hierarchies, codes of conduct, and modes of operation. They are well-armed and well-connected to the police, the judiciary, and political parties.They have links outside Kerala and India and with all other kinds of illegal and criminal flows.The media in Kerala is in a tizzy these days over ‘quotation’ gangs and their influence on everyday life. Like evil spirits dancing upon the bodies of fallen heroes in abandoned epic battle-fields, ‘quotation gangs’, it seems, now dance upon the dead political heroism of the Malayalees. Suddenly, the media finds, they are everywhere, settling every kind of dispute. The institutions of law and order are turning, slowly, into adjuncts or versions of ‘quotation gangs’. The rivalry between political parties and factions within them is important in the growing ability of the ‘quotation gangs’ to intimidate people. There has been plenty of anecdotal evidence recently that the growth of the real-estate construction sector, one of the sectors of Kerala’s economy that has registered rapid growth in recent years, has been greatly aided by the willingness of the political parties, the bureaucracy, and the law and order machinery at all levels to turn a blind eye towards all sorts of rights violations. Reports of threats, major and minor physical violence, and even murder by the sand and quarrying mafia have been frequent. Besides the usual goondagardi in the streets and markets, they offer ‘personalised services’ of a criminal and violent nature, for a specified price[2].
05-04-2023, Sivaram was kidnapped, beaten and thrown on the road: The police have arrested a woman in connection with the attack on a youth who was dumped naked on road in Ernakulam[3]. The Police admitted him at Venjaramood Gokulam Medical College Hospital[4]. According to reports, the youth was in a relationship with this woman[5]. The accused is identified as Varkala native Lakshmipriya[6]. Thus a young woman, college girl has been acting as a dada, in filimi style engaging “quotation gang.” A “quotation gang” attacked the youth as directed by Lakshmipriya, police said[7]. It is learnt that the woman plotted the crime with a quotation gang and her current boyfriend after the youth refused to end his relationship with her[8]. Lakshmipriya is named as the first accused in the case[9]. Earlier, police arrested Ernakulam native Amal (24), the eighth accused in the case. Police said that eight people including Lakshmipriya attacked the youth[10]. So the girl could also attack the lover without any mercy or repentance. Six of the gang are currently absconding. The incident took place on 05-04-2023, Wednesday[11]. The youth was kidnapped in a car owned by Lakshmipriya’s current boyfriend[12]. Thus, the media has been giving details in piecemeal.
They’re not lovers; he sent lewd videos, and harassed daughter: Talking to Manorama News, Lakshmipriya’s mother said her daughter was not in a relationship with the young man. “Both of them were friends. However, he later started verbally harassing her and even sent lewd videos to her phone. She had told me about asking her friends to help her get rid of his trouble,” said Lakshmipriya’s mother. She further said Lakshmipriya did not give any quotation to assault the youth. “It must be her friends who beat the youngster, not my daughter. She would never do something like that. Lakshmi is a talented student. You can ask her teachers if you doubt it,” she said. However, this mother has not to be seen repenting for all the happenings in which, her daughter has definitely played a crucial role. It is also known as to whether she or her husband have warned their daughter about her activities, other than studies involved in love affairs with one boy at the school and another at the college. Naturally, every mother would defend her daughter and son only, but, why she should not monitor her behavior, activities and love affairs. She could have advised, cotrolled and even checked her, hd she wanted to take action against her erring behavior.
‘Main accused demanded ransom to release son’: The father of the youngster has alleged that Lakshmipriya demanded money to release his son. This is more dangerous prt of the affairs. He revealed that the girl and her friends brutally assaulted his son. The assailants then took the money to buy liquor from a nearby shop. One of the assailants banged the beer bottle on Sivaram’s head. All these can be verified from the reports of the doctors, since the police has admitted him in a hospital. Cruelty continued as mobile phone charger wires were placed on his tongue to pulsate him with shock. That the young college girl admitted all these cruel acts has been unbecomimg and shocking. Later, the crew decided to give him marijuana. Lekshmipriya then forced the team to strip him and shoot the video. This is also inexplicable, as why such video is required is not known. He too stated that the duo were not in a relationship. “He was beaten up inside the car. They stole his Rs 20,000/- worth of golden chain, watch and Rs. 5,000/- money before covering his face with a black cloth[13]. From there, he was taken to an old house, where he was assaulted again. This time, they used a heavy stick to attack him and even gave him electric shocks[14]. They have the video of all that torture. My son is yet to recover from the shock of this atrocity,” stated the father. News has also reported that the Lakhsmi Priya family wanted to settle the issue by paying amount. They are trying to negotiate with the Siva’s father.
