3 Malayalam actors criticized by FIR for outraging a woman’s modesty

Malayalam actors Beena Antony, Manoj and Swasika are now facing an FIR after an artist from Aluva alleged that the three had “insulted the modesty of a woman” through a YouTube video. The plaintiff claimed the trio sought to demean her on her YouTube channel in retaliation for a previous complaint she filed against several well-known actors. The charges against them are bailable.

After the release of the Hema committee report, the actor had leveled accusations against actors Edavela Babu, Mukesh, Maniyanpilla Raju, Jayasurya, Jaffer Idukki and actor-director Balachandra Menon. Following his complaint, the police filed a complaint against these people. In response, Beena Antony, Manoj and Swasika reportedly reacted to his accusations through various social media platforms, including YouTube.

In another development, a family member filed a POCSO case against the complainant. Additionally, Balachandra Menon filed his own police complaint, accusing the actor of trying to extort him over the phone and defaming him on YouTube.
