Martyrdom of Manjunath


Manjunath S gets his justice today, precisely on the day when Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev & Rajguru were hanged.

To juggle our reader’s memory – Manjunath Shanmugham an employee of Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) was murdered on 19th November 2005 in cold-blood because he stood up against a corrupt owner of a petrol bunk. The news of the killing of a brave young official sent shock waves across the country.

Thanks to nationwide protests, online petitions and candlelight marches the case was given its due and after a full enquiry today the eight accused have been found guilty. Now we have to await and see what punishment is meted out to these accused.
