The Hema Committee report has prompted significant backlash in Kerala, with allegations of sexual abuse against prominent figures in the Malayalam film industry. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has begun taking statements from victims, while a case has been registered against director Ranjith following a complaint from actress Sreelekha Mitra. Opposition leader V D Satheesan criticized the government for allegedly shielding perpetrators and questioned the composition of the investigation team, calling for a team led by senior women officers. In addition, more women have come forward to share their experiences of abuse, including senior actor Geetha Vijayan and artist Minu Muneer, who detailed incidents involving several male colleagues. The report's call for stricter enforcement of the Prevention of Sexual Harassment at Workplace Act comes amid allegations that high-ranking officials are being protected despite serious complaints against them. These developments highlight a growing demand for accountability and transparency in addressing sexual misconduct in Kerala's entertainment industry.
