Probe against former DGP for statement in actor assault case

The Thrissur Rural police on Tuesday initiated a preliminary investigation into a complaint lodged against former DGP R. Sreelekha about her controversial statement that she failed to act against Pulsar Suni, prime accused in the 2017 actor assault case, even after knowing that he was a habitual criminal. In a complaint lodged by rights activist Kusumam Joseph, it was alleged that in her YouTube video Ms. Sreelekha claimed that many actors had told her about Pulsar Suni’s criminal activities. The complainant also questioned the clean chit given to actor Dileep in the case by Ms. Sreelekha. The retired DGP posted a video explaining her views in the 2017 actor assault case on her YouTube channel Sasneham Sreelekha.
