Jayasurya Faces New Sexual Misconduct Allegations
News summary

Malayalam actor Jayasurya faces a second FIR for sexual misconduct following new allegations from a female co-actor, adding to an earlier complaint filed just days prior. The charges include Sections 354, 354A(A1)(I), and 354D of the IPC, which involve assault, sexual harassment, and voyeurism. These allegations come in the wake of the Justice K. Hema Committee report, which has exposed widespread sexual exploitation in the Malayalam film industry, prompting multiple FIRs against prominent figures. The fallout has led to significant resignations, including the entire leadership of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA), and has put the Kerala Left Democratic Front (LDF) government in a difficult position. The LDF faces criticism and pressure from opposition parties to take decisive action against the accused, including calls for Culture Minister Saji Cherian's resignation. The situation has drawn comparisons to the #MeToo movement, highlighting systemic issues of sexual misconduct in the film industry.
