A number of betrayals are the direct result of Baby Kochamma's repressive actions against Ammu. She is responsible poisoning the minds of Mammachi and Chacko, concocts a false case against Velutha, thereby tricking the children into betraying her. She is also directly responsible for urging Chacko to return Estha to his father and forcing Ammu to leave.
