The Kerala Police has taken a significant step in the ongoing Malayalam cinema #MeToo movement by issuing an arrest warrant for actor Siddique. This action follows a recent ruling by the High Court, which dismissed Siddique’s bail plea in a rape case filed against him by a former actress.
The victim, who initially chose not to report the incident, came forward after the Hema Committee report was released. The alleged assault is said to have occurred in 2016 at a state-owned hotel in Thiruvananthapuram.
The Kerala Police has now begun search operations for Siddique in connection with the alleged sexual assault. This development further highlights the growing impact of the #MeToo movement in India and its ability to bring perpetrators of sexual violence to justice. The case continues to be closely watched by the public and the film industry alike.
