A dubbing artiste and two other women barged into the residence of a Kerala YouTuber, beat him up and elicited an apology on live video, before seizing his laptop and handing it over to the cops.
One day after the episode in Thiruvananthapuram, artiste Bhagyalakshmi, and activists Sreelakshmi Arakkal and Diya Sana, Sunday won the strong backing of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Health and Social Justice Minister K K Shailaja, as well as a wide section of civil society.
Bearing the brunt of the women’s fury was YouTuber Vijay P Nair, known to upload videos with derogatory and sexually explicit comments on his channel. He was slapped, doused with motor oil and made to apologise on a Facebook Live video. Source: IE
While proper action should be taken against people who use vulgarity or make derogatory remarks on anyone, within the purview of freedom of speech, it is not a symbol of a developed society that people should take law in their own hands and openly thrash people they do not like. What is further shameful in this incident is that even the Chief Minister of the state has given support to the women activists who took the law in their own hand and used violence means to make their point; when the case is already in Police. This is Kerala's shame.
