Sexual exploitation of actors: Kerala government as guilty as perpetrators

In 2017, an actor accused five men of sexually abusing her. Actor Dileep was identified as the mastermind behind the attack. The attack was seen as part of systematic sexual abuse of actors in the Malayalam film industry. The Kerala government set up the Hema Committee to investigate the allegations but suppressed the report for five years, denying justice to the survivors. Therefore, the Pinarayi Vijayan government is as guilty as the perpetrators.
