The actress took to social media to report the incident. Following her Instagram post, which narrated the incident, the State Women’s Commission took cognisance of the event and urged the Kerala police to start an investigation. The perpetrators were identified via the mall’s CCTV camera. Although the accused, who apologised to the actor and her family claimed that they were innocent, the police stressed that the accused consciously harassed the actor at the mall. The Kalamassery police has filed a request before the court seeking permission to conduct an identification parade of the two accused.
