Kerala police file rape case against actor Siddique

Hindustan Times  

The Kerala Police on Wednesday registered a rape case against Malayalam actor Siddique on a complaint by a woman artiste, as part of a wider probe into allegations of sexual abuse against male professionals that have rocked the Kerala film industry following the Justice Hema Committee report last week, an officer aware of the developments said. This is the second first information report registered by the police following allegations of sexual abuse against prominent figures in the Kerala film industry. The Museum Police in Thiruvananthapuram registered the case against Siddique under sections of the erstwhile Indian Penal Code, and not under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, since the alleged sexual assault took place in 2016 and the new criminal laws only came into effect in July this year, the officer said. Following the female actor’s allegations last week, the actor, who has done over 350 films mostly in Malayalam, said he was innocent and also filed a complaint with the state director general of police Sheik Darvesh Sahib, alleging an agenda behind the complaint.
