00:00But I want to move on on this broadcast, and as we focus on the latest updates coming in from the south,
00:05one of the big talking points has been the tragic, unfortunate demise of an IT professional in Kerala.
00:12His suicide has sparked major approach, not just in Kerala, but across the country,
00:17because he put out a post on social media in which he alleged sexual abuse, harassment by RSS members,
00:25and that's led to a political firestorm.
00:27Now, after this particular post by Anandu Ajayi also went viral,
00:33the Kerala BGP president has issued a thorough investigation,
00:37has said that there will be a likely complaint also filed.
00:41RSS, however, has demanded for verification of the authenticity of his Instagram account.
00:46They've said that there must be a detailed investigation into when this post was put out on social media
00:51versus when he unfortunately took his own life,
00:55because they're saying the timelines don't add up, there is no link whatsoever.
00:59But that's something that the investigation only can establish.
01:03At the heart of it is that a 26-year-old has lost his life.
01:07A software engineer from Kerala, he was found dead in a hotel room in Tiruvannantapuram.
01:12Anandu claimed that he reportedly suffered severe mental distress following repeated sexual abuse by members of the RSS.
01:20So the Congress has demanded that there be a statement from the RSS on this,
01:25that they cannot remain silent on this.
01:27And they've also questioned why the RSS hasn't been named in the FIR.
01:31I have read the same reports that you have read.
01:36And it is clear to me that the Parivar, the RSS, is going to issue a statement today.
01:41I understand from the RSS that they are also demanding an investigation.
01:45It is their view and it is their information that has been conveyed to me
01:48that they believe there is a very, very deep conspiracy to defame the RSS that is behind it
01:53and that they will issue a clear statement on this issue very, very soon.
01:57I don't have to say anything more than what I have said.
02:00It is something that the Sang has already said that they believe it is a conspiracy.
02:05The person was not well and therefore they are going to issue a statement
02:09and we will wait for the statement.
02:10I don't have to say anything more than what I have said in the RSS that they are going to issue a statement on this issue of the RSS that they are going to issue a statement on this issue of the RSS.
02:23This is a very huge and huge issue of the RSS that they are going to issue a statement on this issue of the RSS.
02:31RSS's name is Narendra Modi Ji Lalkilay's name,
02:35so today RSS's leadership will open up and come
02:39and make these roles of the roles.
02:44This is the role of the roles of the roles of the roles,
02:46and the role of the roles of the roles.
02:48This is not a small thing.
02:50And this role of the roles of the roles of the roles
02:53are also the roles of the roles of the roles of the roles.
02:57It's a heavy role of the roles of the roles I have taught.
03:02The organization that is known for those roles
03:08is to make the role of the roles of the roles.
03:11The organization of RSS's leadership is the role of the role of the role
03:23in the role of the role of the roles.
03:26Okay, let me bring in Pramod Madhu for more details that's come in so far on the investigation.
03:32Pramod, has there been any direct RSS link that's emerged in the probe so far?
03:37Who does the FIR name right now?
03:42Well, Akshita, for now we've got only information based on whatever the social media post that was put by the victim,
03:48unfortunately, where it claims that he had gone through obsessive-compulsive disorder,
03:52all because of a childhood trauma he's been facing since the age of three.
03:56Now it has definitely turned into a political issue, but the important aspect is that he has also stated
04:00that one of the neighbours was a main culprit in this, and he very clearly states that more children
04:05quite possibly have undergone such kind of sexual assault, and that is why several politicians have taken up this matter,
04:11demanding a thorough action, and as we speak, an investigation towards progressing, Akshita.
04:16All right, thanks Pramod for joining us with those details.
04:18We will track the latest that comes in on the investigation as it progresses.
