Kochi, Aug 21 (PTI) - Malayalam actress Rini Ann George, who recently accused a young political leader from a prominent party in Kerala of misconduct, has reported facing intense cyberbullying since her disclosure. If the harassment persists, she has warned she might name the leader.
On Wednesday, Rini addressed the media, where she detailed that this young politician had sent her inappropriate messages and invited her to a hotel. This revelation followed an online interview where she first brought up these allegations. Despite her repeated cautions to the leader and complaints made to senior party members, the inappropriate behavior persisted.
However, Rini has, so far, refrained from identifying the leader. She emphasized that her intention was not to seek media attention but to expose what she describes as a “criminal” leader. On Wednesday night, following her statements, she became the target of online attacks. She mentioned that since making her allegations public, several women have reached out to her, sharing similar experiences with the same leader.
Rini has urged other women who have had similar encounters to come forward. She expressed her determination, stating that she is not intimidated by the potential fallout and is prepared for any consequences. As of now, she is undecided about pursuing legal action against the leader.
In the midst of these developments, the BJP staged a protest march toward a Congress MLA’s office in Palakkad on Wednesday night, asserting that he is the leader implicated by the actress. However, the police intervened and halted the march before it could reach the MLA's premises.
In response, the BJP has called for the resignation of the MLA and the filing of a case against him for his alleged misconduct towards women. Meanwhile, the Palakkad District Congress Committee (DCC) leadership stated that they have yet to receive any formal complaint against the MLA in question.
