---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: venukm <kmvenuan...@gmail.com> Date: Aug 9, 5:48 pm Subject: SHAME ON YOU, K POLICE..and ..SHAME ON YOU, K MEDIA..! To: Media Critique and Debate One more incident of moral policing in Kerala supported by the legal police...Even siblings of opposite gender can't safely travel together here :/ ? The report says: A man and a woman travelling in a Kottayam-Kumali KSRTC bus were intercepted by the Kerala Police at Ponkunnam and were retained at the police station for interrogation. The police checked the exact status of their relationship before allowing them to continue their journey.The interrogation was preceded by a telephonic message by a fellow passenger to the police saying that two youths who appeared to be lovers skulking were traveling in the bus.The 'informer' was also PA to a former Member of Legislative Assembly. On questioning, and cross checking with their relatives the couple were found to be cousins, who were on their return trip to home, after having some business at the university centre, Kottayam. The title of the report , however, is terribly misleading. It conveys the same moral message than being critical of Moral Policing. It says : "SIBLINGS LANDED IN PERIL AS THE POLICE TOOK THEM FOR LOVERS AND CAUGHT HOLD OF THEM "http://www.facebook.com/ kandamath.venugopalan#!/photo.php?fbid=101503... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
