Does tamil actress Kushboo deserve the death penalty ?
Not many may be aware that tamil actress Kushboo, who entered tinseltown through the hit film varusham 16, had disclosed to the reporter of a weekly magazine that certain affluent families had gone to a hotel at Chennai for dinner, where a child belonging to one of the families wanted to go to the urinal, that she was sent alongwith an employee of the hotel, and that the child failed to return even after a long time. Kushboo further claimed that after casually completing dinner, when they searched-for the child, it was found that the child was subjected to rape and found murdered, and that the hotel management tried to suppress the crime. The family of the victim-child also decided to suppress the rape and murder considering the possible damage to the reputation of the family, according to Kushboo. When another weekly subsequently questioned her she reiterated her claim and stated that "I cannot elaborate further. It is an issue involving higher-ups. I cannot openly disclose it."
One Mr.Satheesh sent a written complaint (in the larger social interest) about the incident to the DGP, seeking to investigate the rape and murder reported by Kushboo. But the Chennai Joint Commissioner of Police Mr.Tripathy made an even more startling and spectacular claim that either the father or the mother of the victim- child should lodge a police complaint or else they cannot take action. So Satheesh approached the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's court in Chennai and filed a complaint seeking an investigation by the CBI, since even the Joint Commissioner was talking non-sense. But the court had the last laugh. It examined Satheesh and instead of directing the police to investigate it directed Satheesh to produce the reporter of the weekly magazine and Kushboo before the court for examination. The reporter responded to the court summons and deposed what had transpired between him and Kushboo. But for over 4 years now Kushboo is declining to appear in court despite repeated summons from the court, and the court is also declining to secure her presence by issuance of a warrant, apparently due to her proximity with the powers that be.
