In a tragic revelation from Kanjirappally, in Kerala’s Kottayam, a young man’s life has ended in the shadow of unimaginable pain. Ananthu Aji, just 24 years old, took his own life after courageously sharing the horrors he endured at RSS camps. Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is the ideological mentor of BJP  and one of world’s volunteer organisations.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, scheduled as his final testimony, Ananthu detailed years of brutal sexual abuse that began when he was just four years old. He pointed to the RSS, as the source of his trauma, accusing an active RSS and BJP worker of exploiting him. The abuse, he said, drove him into depression, despite undergoing treatment and medication for the past year and a half.

Ananthu’s words carry a chilling weight. He spoke of physical assaults, beatings with sticks, and a deep betrayal by an organization he once served. “Never befriend an RSS member,” he warned, describing them as filled with venom. He claimed others, too, have suffered similar abuse in RSS camps, urging that victims be rescued and given counseling.

With no evidence to support his claims, Ananthu felt his story might be dismissed. In his words, he offered his life as proof, hoping no child would ever endure what he did. He called for parents to educate their children about sexual safety, leaving behind a powerful plea for change.
