THIRUVANANTHAPURAM/KOCHI: Heads began rolling in the Malayalam film world on Sunday in the aftermath of the Justice K Hema Committee's explosive findings of harassment and abuse of women professionals, leading to two high-profile resignations over allegations of sexual abuse.
Amid mounting pressure on the government to take action against alleged predators in the film industry, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan convened a high-level meeting with senior police officials and decided to establish a seven-member special team to investigate the atrocities faced by women actors.
More skeletons tumbled out of the closet with fresh accounts of harassment emerging on Sunday. Even an old one, involving actor-politician Mukesh, resurfaced.
