Kochi: The woman vlogger, who was flashed by Savad Sha on a moving KSRTC bus at Angamaly in Nov 2023, expressed happiness over his arrest in a similar case in Thrissur on Saturday.
The vlogger said on her social media page that she got justice after two years of shaming and character assassination.
Police had arrested Savad following her complaint.
She also told the media that if the law was stringent, Savad would not have walked free now and another woman would not have suffered his abuse. The vlogger said Kerala society portrayed her as the abuser and Savad as the victim when she faced harassment. She said she faced severe cyberbullying which caused her mental pressure.
"The group of men who had garlanded the accused can now perform Palabhishakam on him," the vlogger was quoted as saying by a news channel.
Savad had boarded the KSRTC bus from Angamaly and sat near the vlogger. When he started to touch her inappropriately, she resisted. When he tried to masturbate, the vlogger raised an alarm. Savad tried to flee, but the conductor and driver of the bus chased him and nabbed him. He was handed over to the police.
However, when the accused was released on bail, a group of men welcomed him with garlands in front of Aluva sub-jail.

Savad Sha, ‘hailed' by men's rights activists, arrested again
THRISSUR: Savad Sha, who was arrested for exposing nudity in KSRTC bus and later greeted by Mens' rights activists when he came out of jail, was arrested again by Thrissur East police on Friday for molesting a woman inside a KSRTC bus. Soon after the reports about the arrest emerged, the victim in the earlier case, came out against the cyber bullying she faced after Savad's arrest in the first incident. Savad, of Vadakara, was arrested on Friday based on a complaint filed by a woman that she was molested in a Malappuram-bound KSRTC bus on June 14. It was exactly two years ago that Savad was arrested by the police based on a video posted by a woman on social media. She had alleged that while travelling from Thrissur to Ernakulam, Savad exposed himself inside the tightly packed bus on the move and engaged in lewd sexual acts. The issue became a major debate in the state as men's rights activists supported Savad. They alleged that she was trying to get followers and taking advantage of the laws. In the latest case, Savad was remanded by the court for 14 days.

Six years on, stolen bike ‘surfaces' at Idukki police station in Kerala
KOCHI: In a case that's as baffling as it is revealing, a motorcycle stolen from Kochi nearly six years ago has surfaced — not on the road, but on the Idukki police station premises, where it has been lying since 2019. Even more surprising: The youth who rode it — arrested that year for possessing 8g of ganja — has now been charged with theft — for the same two wheeler — six years after the incident. It all began in August 2019, when Idukki police nabbed Subijith from Maniyarankudy, near Vanchikavala for allegedly attempting to sell ganja to schoolchildren. Along with the narcotic, officers seized his motorcycle — which remained impounded at the police station — never verified, never claimed. In September 2023, a local court sentenced Subijith to 10 days of imprisonment and fined him Rs10,000. Oddly, he showed no interest in reclaiming the motorcycle — a detail that would gain significance much later. It wasn't until this year, when Idukki police began a routine verification of unclaimed vehicles ahead of a disposal drive that the mystery began to unravel. A basic check revealed that the motorbike's number plate — bearing an Ernakulam registration — was fake. 'Further verification using the engine and chassis numbers revealed that the vehicle was actually registered in Ponnani, Malappuram,' an officer said. That discovery prompted an exhaustive investigation — which confirmed that the bike had been stolen from near the KSRTC bus station in Kochi in 2019. Owner can reclaim vehicle by submitting request: Police 'We contacted the actual owner of the vehicle, who confirmed it had been stolen. Since the theft occurred in Kochi, we referred the matter to the Kochi City police. The owner has expressed interest in reclaiming the vehicle and can do so upon submitting a formal request,' the officer added. Now, in a development no one saw coming, Ernakulam Central police have registered a theft case against Subijith — six full years after the motorcycle went missing. He has been summoned for questioning but denies any involvement in the theft.

2 yrs after abusing woman on bus, man held again for similar offence
Thrissur: A 30-year-old man, who was arrested for misbehaving with a woman vlogger inside a moving KSRTC bus nearly two years ago and was controversially accorded a reception by a men's association when he came out on bail, was nabbed again on Saturday for a similar offence. Vadakara, Kozhikode, native Savad Sha was arrested after the alleged offence took place inside a bus plying from Thrissur to Malappuram on June 14. The survivor reported the incident to the conductor who took the bus to the nearby Peramangalam police station. In the meantime, Savad tried to escape but couldn't open the door as it had a central lock. He reportedly jumped through the window and escaped. The survivor lodged a complaint with the Thrissur East police station. Officers there checked CCTV visuals from the Thrissur KSRTC bus station. On cross-checking them with the details available in the police database, the accused was roughly identified as Savad as he had a similar case registered against him at Nedumbassery in 2023. "We showed Savad's photo to the survivor and his identity was confirmed. Subsequently, we traced him to Pollachi and took him into custody on Friday," said inspector Jijo M J with the East station. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Here's What A Walk-In Shower Should Cost Kohler Showers Learn More Undo Police said, as per the woman's complaint, the accused had touched her with sexual intension and behaved in an inappropriate manner. Savad was produced on Saturday before Thrissur judicial first class magistrate I, K K Aparna, who remanded him in 14 days' custody. Additional public prosecutor P A Ananthakrishnan said the police have slapped the charges under section 75(1) and (2) of BNS which are related to making unwelcome sexual overtures towards women on Savad. He said the charges against the accused were non-bailable, as he is a repeat offender.
