Kochi: The Kerala Police’s Special Investigation Team (SIT) has filed a chargesheet against Left MLA and actor Mukesh in connection with a sexual assault case. The chargesheet, submitted in the Ernakulam Judicial Magistrate Court on Sunday, reportedly includes digital evidence against him. The case stems from a complaint filed by an actress from Aluva, who accused the legislator of misconduct.
In a separate case, the SIT has also filed a chargesheet against veteran Malayalam actor Maniyanpilla Raju, alleging the sexual harassment. The details of the complaint and the nature of the evidence presented against him remain undisclosed at this stage.
These legal developments mark a significant turn in the ongoing investigations into allegations of sexual misconduct involving prominent figures in Kerala’s political and entertainment circles. The cases have sparked intense discussions, with the public and media closely following the legal proceedings.
While both Mukesh and Maniyanpilla Raju have yet to publicly respond to the chargesheets, legal experts suggest that these cases could set a precedent in the state’s handling of sexual assault allegations against influential personalities. The court proceedings in the coming weeks are expected to shed more light on the allegations and the evidence gathered by the investigation team.
