A Vadakara woman has been arrested for abetment of suicide after her viral harassment allegation led to the death of U Deepak. Police investigation, including bus CCTV footage, found no evidence of misconduct, citing digital humiliation as the cause of Deepak's distress.
On 16th January, Deepak U, a resident of Kozhikode’s Govindapuram area had taken a KSRTC bus, where Shimjitha Musthafa was also travelling. During the crowded bus journey, Shimjitha Musthafa recorded and shared a video claiming that Deepak inappropriately touched her.

Recent cases show a similar pattern of cyber criminals scaring their victims by lying to them that their names have been linked with the Pahalgam terror attack.
National media focused solely on the SIR workload claim, but officials denied any such distress and Congress released audio alleging CPM pressure, revealing how selective reporting shaped a misleading narrative around the Kerala BLO’s suicide.
