Kochi: During the trial of the murder case of Abhimanyu, a student of Maharaja\u2019s College and an SFI leader, a heartfelt note revealing the poverty, hunger, and struggle for survival he endured was presented before the court. The note, handwritten by Abhimanyu during his student days to thank a fellow classmate who had provided him food to quell his hunger, caught the court\u2019s attention during the proceedings. It read, \u201cI was hungry all day. Thank you for the food that filled my stomach.\u201d<\/p>\n

Written on a small torn piece of paper taken from a notebook, these words shed light on Abhimanyu\u2019s living conditions, marked by financial hardships as he managed both his studies and involvement in student organization activities. The note was produced in court by Thamjath, the then KSU office bearer at Maharaja\u2019s College.<\/p>\n

According to the witness\u2019s testimony, a fellow student had given food to the hungry Abhimanyu, and he had placed the thank-you note on the food container to express his gratitude. Thamjath later photographed the note on his mobile phone and preserved the image. This note reveals the extent to which poverty and financial difficulties affected Abhimanyu\u2019s student life.<\/p>\n

Presented as evidence in court, the note demonstrates Abhimanyu\u2019s determination to continue his education and actively participate in student organization activities despite hunger and hardships.<\/p>\n

Thamjath also provided detailed testimony about the events of the night Abhimanyu was killed. He stated that Muhammad, the prime accused in the case, had called him on the phone that very night. The call was allegedly to demand that Thamjath move his motorcycle, which was parked near the college gate. Following this phone call, Thamjath received information about the attack near the college vicinity.<\/p>\n

The witness described Abhimanyu\u2019s murder as a deeply personal and affecting event, adding that he experienced severe psychological distress upon hearing the news and that it took him approximately a year to recover and return to normal life.<\/p>\n

The trial, which is proceeding before Ernakulam Principal District Sessions Judge K.K. Balakrishnan, continues to examine the circumstances surrounding the murder and the movements on the day of the incident. The few words Abhimanyu wrote to thank his classmate for the meal remain a poignant testament to the hardships he faced. The witness also clarified that there was no conflict between the SFI and other student organizations in Maharaja\u2019s College in 2018.<\/p>\n

The prosecution is represented by Special Public Prosecutor G. Mohanraj, and the witness testimony is ongoing.<\/p>\n
