Anushanthi: Motherhood itself is an insult; the argument that treatment is needed for vision impairment.The Supreme Court granted bail.

Anushanthi, the second accused in the Attingal double murder case, where the conscience of the accused has been suspended, has been granted bail. The Supreme Court granted bail, taking into consideration her medical treatment needs. The Supreme Court clarified that the conditions for bail can be decided by the trial court. Anushanthi, in her petition to the Supreme Court, stated that she lost her vision due to police brutality and sought the cancellation of her sentence for treatment. However, the state government informed the Supreme Court that this claim is false and that it is merely an attempt to get a favorable judgment by seeking sympathy from the court.

The double murder that shook the state took place in Attingal in April 2014. Anushanthi's 4-year-old daughter and mother-in-law were killed. The prosecution's case states that Anushanthi, who worked at the Kazhakootam Technopark, and her lover Nino Mathew conspired and carried out the brutal crime. The Kerala High Court reduced the death sentence given to Nino Mathew by the trial court to life imprisonment with rigorous conditions. The court also directed that he must serve 25 years in prison without parole.
