Kerala official suspended for defaming air crash victim
A Kerala revenue official, A. Pavithran, has been suspended after he posted derogatory and casteist comments online about Renjitha G. Nair, who died in the recent Ahmedabad air crash. His remarks quickly sparked public outrage and forced the government to step in.
TL;DR
Post reminded netizens of how cruel people can be
Kerala Revenue Minister K. Rajan called Pavithran's words "mean, spiteful, and cruel." Following the backlash, authorities suspended Pavithran pending an inquiry, and police are now considering charges under the IT Act for his abusive social media post. After criticism grew online, Pavithran apologized and deleted his comment—reminding everyone how important it is to be responsible with what we share on social media.
