Kerala Techie GS Sharanya Faces Allegations of Faking Trekking Survival Story GS Sharanya, a 36-year-old IT professional from Kerala’s Kozhikode district, is under scrutiny after allegations emerged that she may have fabricated her account of disappearing during a trek in Karnataka’s Kodagu district. The controversy began when her story of surviving four days in the wilderness went viral, sparking questions about its authenticity. BJP leaders in Kodagu have filed a complaint alleging that Sharanya staged her disappearance, while police are investigating the case as a petition without registering a formal First Information Report (FIR). Sharanya’s disappearance occurred on April 2 when she embarked on a trek to Thadiyandamol, the highest peak in Kodagu. She was part of a group of 12 trekkers and reportedly lost her way while descending the mountain. According to her account, she separated from her group, attempted to retrace her steps, and eventually found herself deep in a dense forest. She claimed to have survived on water alone, drinking three liters daily from a stream, and spent four days in isolation before being rescued by locals on April 5. The BJP’s rural unit in Kodagu submitted a complaint to the Napoklu Police Station on April 7, citing social media discussions that raised doubts about the incident. The party alleged that Sharanya’s story was a “fake publicity” effort, pointing to inconsistencies such as her apparent energy after four days without food or water. They also questioned the likelihood of her surviving in an area frequented by wild animals like elephants. The complaint urged the police to investigate without political interference and to provide a clear explanation. Police officials confirmed they are examining the case but have not yet registered an FIR.#kerala #bjp #ndtv #gs_sharanya #kodagu_district
