In this hard-hitting episode of The Rooster News, we examine the Kerala incident that has ignited nationwide debate on social media accusations, online shaming, and the consequences of viral content. On January 16, 2026, a 42-year-old sales manager named Deepak U from Govindapuram, Kozhikode, was allegedly accused in an 18-second Instagram reel posted by content creator Shimjitha Musthafa, claiming inappropriate behavior on a crowded bus en route to Payyannur, Kannur. The video quickly gained over 2 million views, leading to widespread online discussion and criticism.
We cover the complete timeline: Deepak's denial of the allegations, the intense public attention and trolling that followed, the family's formal complaint to police, registration of a case under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Section 108 (abetment-related), the Kerala State Human Rights Commission's directive for a high-level inquiry by the DIG North Zone, and the latest developments – Shimjitha Musthafa was located and taken into custody by Kozhikode Medical College Police on January 21, 2026. Authorities are now analyzing her mobile device for any edits to the footage, recording statements from fellow bus passengers and staff, and reviewing all digital evidence.
This case has spotlighted a growing concern: While women's safety remains a critical issue, men also face serious challenges from unverified claims, online humiliation, and legal pressures. According to NCRB 2023 data, men account for 72.8% of total reported suicides in India (over 1.24 lakh male cases), with family problems (31.9%) and marriage-related issues (5.3%) among the leading factors. In 2023, marital distress cases saw more men affected than women for the first time in recent records. High acquittal rates in certain cases (70–76%) have fueled discussions about potential misuse of laws like Section 498A.
We also reference similar high-profile situations, such as the 2024 Bengaluru techie case involving allegations of false claims, to highlight the broader conversation around balanced justice, gender-neutral protections, and the impact of social media trials.
