During a recent festival in Uttar Pradesh, the Yuva Golden Chhatra Samiti, a local youth student committee, erected effigies depicting individuals convicted in the 'blue drum' murder case. The effigies were placed alongside traditional figures representing demons, a common practice during certain regional celebrations where effigies are burned to symbolize the victory of good over evil.

The organizers stated that the inclusion of the convicted murderers in the display was a deliberate choice intended to send a message against crime and social misconduct. By grouping the convicted individuals with figures representing mythological evil, the committee aimed to highlight their stance against the specific criminal acts associated with the 'blue drum' case. While the display has drawn public attention, there has been limited reporting on the reaction of the victims' families or local legal authorities regarding the public shaming of the convicts in this manner. The event highlights a trend of using local cultural festivities as a platform for social commentary on criminal justice and public safety.
