Another case opened against director Ranjith for sexual assault | News from India

Kerala police have filed a second sexual assault case against film director Ranjith following a complaint from an aspiring actor.

The case was filed in Kozhikode and is the latest development following the publication of the latest report of the Hema Committee.

The investigation team recorded the complainant’s statement on Friday.

On Friday, an aspiring actor filed a complaint against Ranjith, alleging that the director forced him to strip naked and sexually assaulted him in 2012.

Ranjith had invited the victim for an audition at a hotel in Bangalore, where the alleged assault took place. The complainant initially thought it was part of the audition. The next morning, Ranjith offered the victim money. The actor has now filed a complaint with the DGP and the SIT will examine it.
