Kerala Metoo Row

Malayalam actor Siddique, whose interim anticipatory bail granted by the Supreme Court on alleged charges of raping a young actress is ending soon, has accused the Kerala Police of "cooking up baseless stories" about him in the case.

CPI(M) MLA M Mukesh has been arrested by the Kerala Police in the latest wave of MeToo cases that swept the Mollywood industry. A former actress had accused the actor-turned-politician of rape, based on which case has been registered against him.

Kerala Police are reportedly gearing up to arrest actor Siddique following the Kerala High Court's decision to deny him anticipatory bail in the Malayalam cinema #MeToo case, sources said.

The Kerala High Court on Tuesday rejected the anticipatory bail plea of Malayalam film actor Siddique in a rape case registered against him based on a complaint by an actress.

The Tamil film industry has finally broken its silence on allegations of sexual harassment following the release of the Hema Committee Report in Kerala, which has shaken the film industry in the neighbouring state.

The BJP today spoke up on the massive controversy over the Hema Committee report on sexual harassment in the Malayalam movie industry, with party chief JP Nadda hinting that the Left government in Kerala is complicit in it.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu today praised the Hema Committee report, which has led to several Kerala actors speaking out about the abuse they faced in the industry.

Another FIR has been registered against actor Jayasurya following the complaint of an actress.

Activist Rahul Easwar, who was arrested and then granted bail for his allegedly provocative remarks on the Sabarimala row, has been named in the #MeToo movement. Mr Easwar has denied any wrongdoing and said the allegations by the woman from Thiruvananthapuram were linked to the Sabarimala issue.

The wife of a Kerala parliamentarian, Nisha Jose, has touched off a political controversy with #MeToo allegations in her memoir. Though she hasn't named anyone, Shone George, the son of a legislator, has filed a police complaint against her saying the allegations appear to point at him.
