Bhagya Lakshmi’s FB post on rape victim goes viral

Kozhikode: In a horrific revelation, dubbing artist Bhagya Lakshmi took to Facebook to narrate about her meeting with a gang-rape victim from Thrissur, aged between 35-40 years.

Bhagya Lakshmi began her Facebook post saying that “this might look like a cinema story. But it isn’t.”

In her Facebook post, she says how a desperate phone call from a woman one night she had received.

“She was accompanied by her husband, who stepped out saying his wife shall speak to me freely without his presence. Amidst continuous sobs, she told me how four of her husband’s friends-whom she had considered as her own brothers-raped her one after the other two years ago. They had threatened her not to reveal the incident, lest they would release video footage of the rape,” said Bhagya Lakshmi.

“She told me that Nirbhaya, Soumya and Jisha were fortunate to have died post being raped. Otherwise, they would have had to go through several rounds of mental rape, just like her,” she goes on her post.

Thanks to the social networking site, the Chief Minister’s office has intervened into the issue. Prabha Varma, special secretary to the Chief Minister, said action would be taken in the incident.
