Sreelekha Mitra's Allegations Lead to FIR, Ranjith Resigns
Aug 26, 2024, 05:59 PM
Bengali actress Sreelekha Mitra has accused Malayalam filmmaker Ranjith of sexual misconduct, alleging that he made her uncomfortable by inappropriate touching during an informal meeting in 2019. Following these allegations, Ranjith resigned from his position at the Kerala Film Academy. Mitra filed a formal complaint with the Kochi police, leading to the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) under section 354. The Kerala Police have initiated an investigation into the matter. Kerala Culture Minister Saji Cherian has defended Ranjith, stating that 'everybody makes mistakes.' The allegations have sparked a broader discussion on misconduct within the Malayalam film industry, with a seven-member team set to investigate issues faced by women actors. Crucial remarks by the Justice Hema committee have contributed to the unfolding situation.
