Overview

• Anandu Aji, 26, was found dead in a Thampanoor lodge on Oct. 9, and a social media letter posted soon after alleged years of sexual abuse by a man he identified as “N. M.” connected to the RSS and BJP.
• A plainclothes team interviewed his family, with investigators confirming that statements were recorded and that they have developed “clear leads.”
• Police are processing a DYFI petition and examining whether offences including abetment to suicide and provisions under the POCSO Act apply.
• The RSS rejected the allegations as baseless, submitted a petition in Kottayam seeking an impartial probe, and alleged a deliberate effort to malign the organisation.
• Political pressure intensified as the Indian Youth Congress held a protest in Delhi demanding a probe, with Delhi Police detaining several demonstrators, while BJP leaders called for a fair investigation.
