The appointment of Rajesh M. Menon as the special public prosecutor in Attappady Madhu lynching case has brought back confidence to the family of the tribal youth who was beaten to death by a crowd at Chindakki, Attappady, on February 22, 2018.
Madhu’s mother Malli was on a harrowing trail seeking justice for her mentally deranged son as the trial was delayed for years and the authorities showed an apparent lack of cooperation. The special public prosecutors appointed in the beginning refused to attend the case, and the trial began at the SC/ST Special Court at Mannarkkad after Madhu’s family made a hue and cry.
