A man (Dulal Brothers) and a woman (P. Shalini) have been charged in separate courts for their involvement in a cyberbullying case against TikTok influencer A. Rajeswary, also known as Esha.

B. Sathiskumar, a 43-year-old lorry driver, was accused of making obscene statements intended to hurt the feelings of others through the 'Dulal Brothers 360' TikTok account. This offense was allegedly committed on June 30 at 10:12 PM in Sentul.

In a separate court, P. Shalini was fined RM100 after pleading guilty to making insulting statements with the intent to cause anger and disturb the peace. Magistrate M.S. Arunjothy imposed the sentence following Shalini's appeal in the Magistrate's Court. Shalini, who works in a nursing home for the elderly, made the offending statements through her TikTok account alphaquinnsha at 4 AM on July 1. She was charged under Section 14 of the Minor Offenses Act 1955, which carries a maximum fine of RM100.

Sathiskumar pleaded not guilty to an additional charge of issuing a statement to humiliate and disturb the modesty of a woman, R. Puspa, through the same TikTok account on the same date, time, and place. This charge falls under Section 509 of the Penal Code, which carries a penalty of up to five years imprisonment, a fine, or both.

The recent death of Rajeswary Appahu, also known as Esha, has deeply affected Malaysians, particularly her own community. Esha, a social media influencer, teacher, and active activist, faced relentless harassment during a LIVE session on TikTok over several weeks. The young lass continued to suffer until she could no longer bear the cyberbullying.

Having said that, the 29-year-old influencer, reported that one individual used her photo and made several threats to "rape and kill" as well as "injure" her. Many viewers of the session also abused her. The incident has raised serious concerns about the nature of the world we live in.
