The Kerala police is on an arrest-spree. More and more persons are getting arrested in connection with the online defaming of one college girl called Hanan. Hanan was on alleged online abuse and social media trolls after it came to light that she was selling fish in college uniform at Thammanam, Kochi. Perhaps the arrest will continue until all the 3.5 crore of Keralites are arrested and put in jail. The number 3.5 crore comes here because Kerala has an estimated population of 3.5 crore on date.
The first arrested was one Shaik from Wynadu and it was widely publicized by media because Shaik is a High Court advocate. Advocates have still some rift with media channels. And for the same reason he was let free by the police. Still arrest continues as if the police has no good job to do.
It is true that there were fake messages against girl on social media because she and the news reporter of a daily created wrong notion in the minds of public. It is rather rare a woman fish vendor, even if a college student, appearing in class uniform. The distance of the Thodupuzha college, the cinema producer's tall claim etc prompted people to think in the negative. This resulted trolls and when the fact is revealed a good many have withdrawn their posts. But pretending as poormans' saviour the CM asked the police to arrest trollers. This is an indirect way to threaten those who put comments against the government too.
If the government has real intention to help the poor there are thousands of poor students but all they not go for fish vending. Identify them first and lend a helping hand instead of runnig after channel publicity.
If government needs the police to do some meaningful work, stop them to take the screen shots and ask them to arrest robbers, rapists, drug pedallers, smugglers, tax evaders, hoarders, killers and who else.
