Kollam: In a bizarre directive, a nursing college in Kerala has allegedly asked its students not to lock doors, even when changing clothes, as they suspected students might indulge in homosexual activities or use their mobile phones. According to a report in The News Minute , the ridiculous restriction has brought the women students of Upasana College of Nursing in Kollam out on the roads since last Friday. The principal says we are closing rooms to secretly use mobile phones or because we are homosexuals. The students alleged that the college has been imposing heavy fines and absurd rules for the past few months, adding that lower caste students were also harassed by the principal. According to protesters, the principal, MP Jessykutty mocked students belonging to lower castes with casteist remarks and fined them without reason.
In the latest update to the serial killer case in Kerala, accused killer Jolly reportedly confessed to police that she 'hated girls' and tried to kill her niece. It was also revealed to media in the state that she had two abortions. In India, prenatal gender reveals are illegal and doctors who reveal the gender of the baby are legally liable if found guilty. The law came into force to battle a rise in female foeticide making abortion illegal if performed after a gender-determination test, such as an ultrasound. Abortion is legal in India within certain parameters, but is illegal if performed because of the gender of the unborn baby.
