கர்ப்பிணி இந்து தமிழ் பெண்ணை அடித்து உதைத்த கேரள முஸ்லீம்கள்

மலப்புரம் என்ற கேரள பகுதியில் பயணம் செய்துகொண்டிருந்த தமிழ் இந்து குடும்பம் ஒன்று கேரள முஸ்லீம்களால் தாக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. இவர்கள் ஏதோ நகையை திருடிவிட்டார்கள் என்று இவர்களை அடித்து துவைத்து உடைகளை கிழித்து விட்டிருக்கிறார்கள்.

இதில் ஒரு பெண் கர்ப்பிணி என்பதும் ஒரு சிறுமி நாலுவயதே நிறம்பியவர் என்பதும் இவர்கள் கண்ணுக்கு தெரியவில்லை.

Malappuram (Kerala): Two women and a five-year-old child were beaten up by a mob at Edappal in the Malappuram district. Locals took the trio for thieves and attacked them, after they were found wandering suspiciously near a shop from which a gold anklet had gone missing.

Says an eyewitness, Basheer, "It's such an inhuman act. How can you beat up someone just on suspicion of theft? Nobody even cared that one of the women was pregnant. If the police had not turned up in time, the mob would have killed them."

While thefts have increased in Kerala, this is perhaps the first time that its largely literate society has taken law into its own hands.

And the authorities are not amused. Police were quick to crackdown on those involved. Five people are already in custody.

Says the SP of Malappuram, P Viajan, "More arrests will surely follow. We believe some seven more persons were directly involved in this inhuman act. We have given the women and children the necessary medical attention. They are fine now."

The incident has also prompted the State Human Rights Commission to summon the Malappuram SP. The Chief Minister says action will be taken against policemen who failed to prevent the assault.

But what's worrying is that amidst the hue and cry, the victims themselves seem to have disappeared.

Pregnant woman attacked in Kerala, 5 held

Kozhikode: A pregnant woman was thrashed and punched in mob fury after she was accused of a theft in a village in Malappuram district in Kerala and her dress torn too in the search for a stolen anklet.


Five persons were arrested on Monday in connection with Sunday’s brutal attack by the public at Edappal village. The State Human Rights Commission and a local court have sought a detailed police report on the incident.

Forty-year-old Jyothi, a wandering tribal woman hailing from Tamil Nadu, her teenaged daughter Kavitha and a five-year-old girl were targeted by a group of about 100 persons that included employees of a textile shop from where a customer's gold anklet was reported missing, police said.

The shop employees and public alleged the woman was moving in a "suspicious manner," police said.

Despite the trio pleading that they had nothing to do with the theft, they were roughed up for about an hour and their dresses torn to find out if they had hidden the anklet within their clothes, the sources said, adding the ornament was not found in their possession.

It was after police reached the spot that the enraged people were dispersed from the scene and the woman was rushed to a nearby hospital. She was discharged from there and then let off from the police station after a search.
