The cruelties inflicted by the mob on the twenty-two-year-old youth, by alternately beating him, dragging him in the mud, and immersing his head in the water of the stream, will freeze the conscience.

Balushery: It was his birthday. But the memory of that day, which should have been full of celebrations, is nothing but a cheering crowd. The day he became nothing in the height of fear, helplessness and self-loathing. Jishnuraj was discharged from the hospital two days ago in Vazhentevalap where thirty people were brutally tried and brutally beaten for allegedly tearing down a campaign board at Balussery Palolimuk on June 23 at 12.30 midnight. Those two-and-a-half hours before death still haunt him even days later. Unable to walk without help. There is chronic headache as a result of a blow to the head.
Jishnu says his body gets tired as he remembers that night of terror to answer questions from friends, relatives and journalists. The cruelties inflicted by the mob on the twenty-two-year-old youth, by alternately beating him, dragging him in the mud, and immersing his head in the water of the stream, will freeze the conscience. The same mob that beat up Madhu in Attapadi for allegedly stealing food. But Jishnu, who narrowly escaped death, had to give honor in return. Those who took him confessed that he was the one who destroyed the flag and destroyed the cultural center earlier in the area. A video of the ‘confession’ was filmed. Spread on social media. The group calls the police at the point where they will die if they do anything else.
Jishnu is a young man with no criminal background in the country or in the institutions he studied at. Not charged yet in any order. Good at studies. TTC from Pathanamthitta Diet (D.Ed) and B.A from Malabar Christian College. Economics also passed. Jishnu, who passed the teacher’s qualification exam K.TET, was trying to get a temporary job in some school. The people of Paloli have not lost their shock that around 30 assailants confronted this dalit youth like a hardened criminal. Many locals are worried about the vandalism that is taking root in the country. They want the police to investigate deeply the background behind the constant political conflicts in the area over trivial matters.
The weapon of fear
There have been cases of lynching and attacks by the law in the Paloli region before. A youth was beaten to death by the same mob a few months ago on the charge of immorality. Another house has also been attacked for the same reason. As there are no complainants in such incidents, the assailants usually escape. Their bond is strong enough to arrange any midnight within minutes of a phone call.
Jishnu was initially detained by three people. Within a short time, people within a radius of two kilometers reached the spot. The video footage of Jishnu being brutally beaten and immersed in water was recorded by the gang members themselves and shared on social media. This is a warning and a warning to opponents. Even though there have been political conflicts before when a campaign board was torn down and a flag was destroyed, these factors add to the seriousness of the incident in Paloli.
