Union Minister Suresh Gopi filed a complaint against mediapersons for allegedly obstructing and threatening him and his security officer when he was leaving the Ramanilayam government guest house in Thrissur. The incident occurred after reporters questioned him about the Hema Committee report and sexual harassment allegations against CPI(M) MLA Mukesh. Gopi accused the media of misleading public perception and responded aggressively, pushing reporters aside. Former MLA Anil Akkara also filed a complaint against Gopi for his conduct, and protests have erupted, including a resolution by Congress councillors in Thrissur. The Kerala Union of Working Journalists condemned Gopi's behavior and demanded an apology. Kerala BJP president K Surendran stated that the party's stance is for Mukesh to resign, differing from Gopi's perspective.
