⚡ When Reality Bites Back: The CPI(M) leader Who Once Dismissed ‘The kerala Story’ Faces a Painful Personal Twist
A Kasaragod controversy that blurs the lines between propaganda, irony, and personal tragedy.
🏠 From politics to Personal Chaos
Kasaragod, kerala — The story unfolding in CPI(M) leader P.V. Bhaskaran’s home reads like a painful collision between ideology and reality. A man known for fiercely criticising The kerala Story as “fake propaganda” now finds his family at the centre of a disturbing domestic crisis.
His daughter, Riya (name changed), allegedly entered a relationship with a married local healer, a man already father to four children.
Soon after leaving with him, she appeared in a video alleging torture, confinement, and mental pressure—a cry for help that has shaken the local community and left Bhaskaran publicly devastated.
📜 A Letter, A Plea, and A Paradox
Bhaskaran has submitted a formal complaint to the Kasaragod SP, requesting urgent action.
In his own words to the press, he said, “How can I allow my daughter to go to a man who already has four children?”
He insists the issue isn’t about religion or love but about exploitation and deception.
According to him, the man’s motives were less romantic and more financial, with an alleged interest in his daughter’s ₹1.5 crore property.
Yet, the political irony is impossible to ignore:
The same leader who once dismissed the narrative of manipulation and coercion now finds himself battling similar allegations at home.
⚖️ Conflicting Claims, Complex Realities
Police investigations so far have found no concrete evidence of illegal confinement.
Bhaskaran’s paraplegic daughter Sangeetha (as per local reports) has also alleged she is being restricted and denied medical care, suggesting deep divisions within the family.
Her video plea speaks of being locked indoors for 20 days—a shocking claim that has ignited debates on personal liberty, parental control, and social hypocrisy.
But the truth, as the investigation continues, remains tangled between two equally plausible narratives:
one of a daughter’s independence, another of a father’s desperate protection.
🧩 Politics Meets Pain
What makes this case explode beyond Kasaragod is its political symbolism.
For years, The kerala Story divided Kerala’s political spectrum. Left-leaning leaders branded it “propaganda.” Right-wing voices called it “truth told late.”
Now, Bhaskaran’s situation stands as a grim reminder that reality doesn’t always fit ideology.
Life rarely follows party lines — and when private pain meets public judgment, the fallout is merciless.
💔 Beyond religion, Beyond Politics
Strip away the headlines and hashtags, and this is ultimately a human story — of a father afraid for his daughter, a woman claiming captivity, and a society eager to assign blame.
Whether it’s a case of exploitation or autonomy, what’s certain is that empathy is the first casualty in India’s polarized climate.
This isn’t about validating a movie or vindicating a political stance.
It’s about asking the harder question:
👉 When ideology blinds us, do we stop seeing people as human beings?
⚙️ Final Take
This case isn’t a victory for any ideology — it’s a mirror for all of them.
It exposes how real human suffering can get swallowed by the hunger for political vindication.
Whether Bhaskaran’s daughter was exploited or misunderstood is for investigators to decide —
But the lesson is already clear:
👉 When politics becomes louder than compassion, even truth becomes a casualty.
