Exactly a week back, last Thursday, 29 year old law student Jisha was brutally killed - her body had 30 wounds and the death was supposed to have been caused by the blow on her head - and raped. Subsequently, her intestines were pulled out with a sharp object. The crime reminds one of the infamous Delhi gang rape case that had happened not long ago.
Jisha's parents have been living separately for many years. She was with her mother, staying in a small shanty at Perumbavoor and they're finding it hard to make both ends meet. Rajeshwari, Jisha's mother, had returned from work in the evening of 28 Apr to find her daughter murdered in a gruesome manner. The police is investigating and slowly veering round to the perpetrators of the heinous crime. Meanwhile, a mass movement involving civic groups and other organisations have got active on the social media and even taken to the streets, seeking early arrest, along with the toughest of punishments to the perpetrators.
The sizzling heat of the summer coupled with the election rhetoric going up in decibels every minute haven't dampened the call for Justice for Jisha.
Jisha, we've let you down. As we shed tears and join the voices for getting you justice, there's a deep sense of guilt, within, each one of us, Malayalees, for not being with you in your hour of extreme peril.
RIP, Jisha! My tears and prayers. How does one console your poor mother?
Tailpiece.
Jisha, you shall get your justice. We will ensure that and hope to make Kerala, a safe place for women.
