Abstract

The article from Media Asia discusses the relationship between the police, media, and politics, as depicted in the film "Kathal - A Jackfruit Mystery." The film humorously portrays corruption, political manipulation, and caste-based prejudice in a small town. It highlights the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies due to political influence and the media's focus on sensationalism over accuracy. The article also touches on the broader issue of political corruption and misuse of power in Asian countries, impacting police investigations and crime rates. [Extracted from the article]
