Shibin, all of 21 yrs, wanted to kill the woman he had taken a liking to by stabbing her with a knife and a broken piece of glass because she'd spurned his love. He had these accessories in his car while he waited.
He knew that she visited the nearby temple regularly, every morning. He'd waited with his car, forced her into it as she came out and tried to kill her and it took a massive effort on her part of shoving him away before jumping off the car. In anger, he rammed the car into her, causing serious damages to her thigh and hip and rammed another five women and a guy who'd arrived at the scene to help the hapless girl. They're giving her water and tending her when tragedy struck them too!
The condition of the girl and three of the women who'd helped her, is said to be precarious as they lie in a hospital, undergoing treatment.
Last year, around this time, Shibin had hurled a crude bomb into their compound when the girl refused to even talk with him. Consequent to this act of his, the girl's mom had lodged a complaint with the police and it was this reaction that got him to the present stage.
Soon after the crime, the guy had abandoned his car and along with his father, fled - presumably on advice by their lawyer - to the temple town of Pazhani in Tamilnadu from where they're apprehended by the police, after three days, who're able to zero in on them through inputs from the 'cyber crime cell', monitoring the calls that the relatives had received from changed SIM cards and discarded cell phones!
What Shibin did is detestable and deserves harsh punishment but what about the 'shenanigans' of his father who while destroying evidence, aided and abetted his son to flee and if reports are to be believed, he was trying to send him off to Qatar where the youngster was working previously!
My take.
Many parents of today support their children blindly and have landed into trouble from the stories that abound. Consider these:-
(a) The parents had gone to their child's school where the father had thrashed the class teacher
for caning his son. And the reason for which the child was punished?.....for not doing his home
work!
(b) A mother had approached the minister, through her contacts, to have her rusticated son
reinstated but the school stood firm in its decision. And the reason for the child's
rustication?............for indulging in homosexual activities and misuse of his camera aided
cellphone! The minister beat a hasty retreat!!
I ain't being condescending when I say that many parents do not fit the bill at all. The father and mother live their separate lives - aided by the unrestricted use of their cellphones - perhaps, even indulging in forbidden relationships and to hide their guilt, pamper their children with whatever they ask for. And not long after, monsters are created!
I shan't blame the children for their faults. It's their environment that needs a thorough observation to reveal the warts and the moles!
Tailpiece.
There were many things that I'd craved for when I was a kid, seeing a few of the possessions of my friends but my parents were clear in their minds as to what I should have. They never pampered me but gave me their love and support in everything I did and always set an example in leading a simple yet elegant life! My grandparents - both maternal and paternal - used to regale me with stories from the mythology and augmented my parents' inputs in living correctly and they, too, led from the front !! ........I'm glad that I was born into this family.
