The murder was arranged because some landlords were offended by her work among the landless poor.Later on,her family forgave her murderer.The documentary The Heart of a Murderer, depicting the murder and subsequent repentance of Samandar Singh was the winner at the World Interfaith Harmony Film Festival 2013.

Above all, Pulluvazhy is renowned for its unity against Hartal, a common strike practice in India by restraining public to work, to travel, to shop etc. Pulluvazhy gave mere importance to this strike and never supported any kind of such strike. The entire village is very much alive in a Harthal Day, and is a solace to most of the travelers as the village is besides Airport-Kottayam MC Road.The only two occasions when the village had downed shutters were when Communist leaders P. Govinda Pillai and P.R. Sivan died.

Currently, the village is famous for timber business.
