Kerala Court Orders FIR Against Actor Tini Tom Following Ansiba Hassan's ComplaintPreviousNext

The Ernakulam district court directed police to register an FIR and investigate actor Ansiba Hassan's complaint against fellow actor Tini Tom for alleged harassment, obscene and communal remarks, and gender-based insults. Despite initial police reluctance citing lack of criminal intent, the court found the preliminary report inadequate. Following the court order, Kadavanthra police registered a case against Tini Tom, who denies the allegations. Hassan had cited the harassment as a reason for resigning from the Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes.
