The Suryanelli rape case is a boltch on Malayali’s face as
the case concerns a 16-year-old girl who was sexually harassed and assaulted
continuously for 40 days by 42 men in 1996.The accused included some well-known
and well-placed individuals not to name one now. On 20 January 2005, the Kerala
High Court acquitted the 35 convicted earlier and found only one guilty. All others
escaped from punishment. The case is now in the Supreme Court and the Court is
about take a decision.
Shockingly it has been reported that there was a rape attempt against the ‘girl’ by a person in the office of her present employer, the State Government of
Kerala. This is highly obnoxious and an immediate rescue is needed for her.
The media was celebrating the case all the time and is still
calling her as ‘Suryanelli girl’. And in all probability as the case may
prolong for another five years, it would be better to call her ‘Suryanelli
Ma'am’ instead of Surynelli girl. She has now attained the age of 33.
