Case charged against filmmaker Ranjith, four prominent actors face fresh sexual abuse charges
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The fallout from the Justice K Hema Committee report on harassment and abuse in the Malayalam film industry intensified on Monday as a case was charged against well-known filmmaker Ranjith, and several female actors stepped forward with disturbing accounts of the mistreatment they faced at the hands of their various male counterparts.
The case was charged against Ranjith after a Bengali actress filed a complaint on Monday with the Kochi City Police Commissioner.
The complaint, sent via email, alleged that Ranjith had touched her inappropriately with sexual intent after inviting her to act in the movie Paleri Manikyam in 2009.
