Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 27: In a shocking revelation, a former activist of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has claimed that his organisation forced him to indulge in anti-social activities such as attacking religious centres of non-Hindus, and then tried to kill him for political gains.

The victim of the venomous ideology is S Vishnu (25), hailing from Karakulam Panchayat in Thiruvananthapuram, who had been visiting the RSS since he was seven years old.

According to Vishnu, who is currently undergoing treatment at the Thiruvananthapuram General Hospital, RSS started torturing him after he repented for his hate crimes and started opposing illegal activities of Sangh Parivar.

He revealed that he was confined by the RSS workers for about 38 days, and he was forced to write a “suicide note” blaming CPI (M) Kannur district secretary P Jayarajan. The intention of the saffron outfit was to kill Vishnu and gain political mileage by holding their opponents responsible for the murder, he said.

“RSS workers had pelted stones at a Pentecost church last year with the intention of creating communal violence in Kerala. I was also an accused in the case. I did that because they asked me to do so. I am also an accused in blocking a vehicle that brought buffaloes to be used during the holy month of Ramadan. Though I did all this at their behest, later I questioned all this and they were not happy about me since then,” he alleged.

Mr Vishnu said that he and a few others, who quit RSS were receiving threats. “It was then that RSS member Kannan, an accused in the murder of CPI (M) member Kannur Dhanraj, came to Thirivananthapuram. He had been trying to create problems in the area by destroying the BJP flags and putting the blame on CPI(M). We had questioned that. We also informed police about his activities,” he alleged.

He alleged that after that incident, RSS workers plotted against him and tried to kill him. “Many leaders including BJP leader Saju assaulted me. Later, they took me to Neyyantinkara. There, some other leaders questioned me asking how I am related to P Jayarajan. To prepare a magazine, I had met many prominent political leaders including P Jayarajan and many other Muslim League and BJP leaders. But I had no other contacts with him,” he said.

Vishnu says that RSS workers took him to different places in Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram districts and kept him in illegal confinement. He added that they asked him to obey what the Sangh says and claimed that they tortured him for about 86 hours without giving food or allowing him to sleep.

“I begged them not to kill me. But they said they would abandon me in the middle of the sea,” he says, expressing remorse for foolishly working for RSS for 18 years.

He said that he escaped from their clutches on January 22, when all RSS workers went to visit Amritanandamayi near Vallikkavu. “I knew that they would kill me. They were telling me that I would be handed over to RSS workers in Kannur. So, when I got a chance, I escaped,” he said.

This is thr true face of most RSS, the most terrorist organisation in India. 99 percent of anti social issues / riots / clashes occuring in india are organised by this terror grup. However, the police are in love with them and dont take any action.

Communals are blind. They can not hear anything against them even if it is truth. Many so called communals may be unaware of the truth. Therefore they blindly support communal forces.

This liar's rubbish story can find place only in anti-national media that are trying to divide India. Shame on the editor for providing faking news with the tagline of 'Trusted News Portal of India'. Better you change the tagline into 'Trusted News Portal of Pakistan.

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A rare bamboo shrimp has been rediscovered on mainland India more than 70 years after it was last reported, confirming for the first time the presence of Atyopsis spinipes in the country. The find was made by researchers from the Centre for Climate Change Studies at Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, during surveys in Karnataka and Odisha.

The team — shrimp expert Dr S Prakash, PhD scholar K Kunjulakshmi, and Mangaluru-based researcher Maclean Antony Santos — combined field surveys, ecological assessments and DNA analysis to identify the elusive species. Their findings, published in Zootaxa, resolve decades of taxonomic confusion stemming from a 1951 report that misidentified the species as Atyopsis moluccensis without strong evidence.

The shrimp has now been confirmed at two locations: the Mulki–Pavanje estuary near Mangaluru and the Kuakhai River in Bhubaneswar. Historical specimens from the Andaman Islands, previously labelled as A. moluccensis, were also found to be misidentified and actually belong to A. spinipes.

The rediscovery began after an aquarium hobbyist in Odisha spotted a shrimp in 2022, prompting systematic surveys across Udupi, Karwar and Mangaluru. Four female specimens were collected in Mulki and one in Odisha, all genetically matching.

Researchers warn the species may exist in very small, vulnerable populations as freshwater habitats face increasing pressure from pollution, sand mining and infrastructure development. All verified specimens have been deposited with the Zoological Survey of India for future reference.

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.
