The nexus of Esha’s death, cyberbullying and gangsterism

The death of 29-year-old TikTok influencer A Rajeswary who is also a Hindu rights activist via suicide on July 5 put the spotlight on the social media platform as a hotspot for cyberbullying. She was popular as Esha.

Prior to her death, Esha had named three individuals in her police report – Dulal Brothers whose real name is B Sathiskumar, Shalini Periasamy also known as alphaquinnsha and Dhanya Neevashinie Shankar of Glory Cosmetics.

Both Sathis and Shalini have already been charged in court.

But that is not the end of the story.

Harapan Daily gained an insight into the nexus of cyberbullying and gangsterism that led to Esha’s death.

Behind individuals like Dulal and alphaquinnsha, there is a nexus of syndicated online gangsters who extended their activities into the cyberworld.

Kulim’s alleged involvement in Esha’s case

It is learnt that one dsp.kulim who goes by the name Mr Kulim and Sosma CEO mediated an online settlement involving Shalini and the late Esha. Esha’s friends had revealed that her behaviour during the live was not normal as she was not herself and appeared to be very submissive in the entire live session. This had happened on July 3.

Sosma CEO and Kulim are the names of TikTok accounts.

Kulim has 13,600 followers and 96,700 likes only has two videos on his account but he is very active on live sessions.

At the time of writing the Sosma CEO account no longer exists.

On the day of Esha’s death, a video featuring Dulal who is also known as Kabali and Shalini calling on Esha for an offline settlement went viral.

In the video several individuals justified Dulal’s actions and wanted Esha to settle the matter with Dulal.

Esha questioned why Dulal used vulgarities against her and trolled her. The conversation ignored the fact that cyberbullying took place. The mediator appears to be a gangster.

The involvement of Kulim in Esha’s case is of suspect as he was not Esha’s close friend but he was spotted at the residence where Esha passed away. He was also spotted at the police station where police reports were made on Dulal add Shalini.

On July 7, Kulim went on several live sessions claiming that he was doing undercover work to expose Dulal and Shalini.

He also claimed that he knew Esha for several years and was helping her.

On July 8, accounts affiliated to Kulim such as Sosma CEO hosted a live session for his affiliates such as Reborn Kutty, Reborn Cowboy, Harpic.

A total of six people spoke during that live session where there were trying to shift the blame on Esha’s death from one to another.

An intriguing aspect of the live sessions done by Dulal and Kulim are their live sessions also gain support from women even though the targeted victim are women who are threatened with rape and murder.

Two female moderators that featured in Dulal and Kulim’s live sessions are Shakti Vani and Shamala Raman.

SK Eswary gathers details and photos of the victims for Dulal, otherwise also known as Kabali. There is also one who goes by the name Malani and SV Shelvi.
