'No Kerala govt support', actor drops sex complaint against MLA

Kochi: A 51-year-old Malayalam actress who had levelled sexual abuse allegations against several male actors, including CPI(M) MLA M Mukesh, on Friday said she was not keen on pursuing her complaints due to "lack of support and protection from the Kerala govt".

The complainant alleged "carelessness" on the part of state govt and said she was "mentally exhausted" and therefore, not keen on taking the complaints forward.

She claimed she was made an accused in a Pocso case following her complaints against the actors, including Maniyanpilla Raju and Idavela Babu, and govt did nothing to protect her. "... I want justice... If I commit suicide, govt will be responsible for it," she said.
