Actor Siddique from Kerala reportedly escaped from custody after a lookout notice was issued for him. He has been booked by Kerala Police. The actor has reportedly been absconding after the Kerala High Court in Kochi dismissed his request for anticipatory bail in the sexual abuse case, according to a report by Kerala Kaumudi.

The actor was reportedly absent from both of his Kochi residences and had turned off his cell phones, according to the same story. The actor was the target of a lookout notice issued by the Kerala Police to stop him from leaving the country.

According to a report from OnManorama, Siddique has chosen to appeal the HC’s decision at the Supreme Court because he fears being arrested.

On the other hand, the actor’s arrest has been directed by the Crime Branch to the Kochi police.Based on comments that the complainant’s allegations were made up, the actor attempted to obtain anticipatory bail. But the HC had weighed in sharply on this, turning down his bail request.

Kerala Police arrested Malayalam actor Siddique after a young artist accused him of sexually abusing her. Following the release of the Hema Committee report, which caused a stir inside the Indian film industry, the actress filed the lawsuit.

The complainant claimed that on January 28, 2016, following a movie preview, the actor had attacked her at a posh hotel in Thiruvananthapuram.

According to the police officials, Malayalam star Nivin Pauly was arrested on Tuesday for the crime of rape following a 40-year-old woman’s statement that he had molested her in Dubai more than a year prior.

Six people, one of whom is a woman, are named in the FIR filed under section 376 of the IPC, according to an officer of the Oonnukal police station.

The police stated that the incident happened in Dubai more than a year ago, according to the woman. Since the release of the Justice K Hema Committee report, numerous actors and directors have been subjected to accusations of sexual harassment or rape by female actors. Nivin Pauly is one of them.

Nivin reacts to the accusations

Nivin published a statement on Instagram, “I have come across a false news report accusing me of abusing a girl. Please know that this is entirely untrue. I am determined to go to any extent to prove these allegations are baseless and will take all necessary steps to bring those responsible to light. Thank you for your concern. The rest will be handled legally.”

He also mentioned his name and the specific date, September 3.

Further updates on the codified report details

The Kerala government established the committee in response to the 2017 actress assault case and its findings, which exposed instances of harassment and exploitation of women in the Malayalam film industry.

In response to accusations of sexual harassment and exploitation leveled against a number of performers and directors, the state administration declared on August 25 that a seven-person special inquiry team would be formed to look into the claims.

A modified copy of the Justice Hema Committee’s report on harassment includes startling tales of women professionals being harassed, exploited, and mistreated. The 235-page study, which was made public after the names of the accused and witnesses were withheld, states that roughly 10 to 15 men who are producers, directors, and actors govern and exercise control over the Malayalam film industry.
