Thiruvananthapuram:
The Congress-led opposition UDF filed a petition with the Kerala Women’s Commission on Wednesday against a group of ruling LDF leaders who claimed they had insulted the survivor in the actress assault case involving actor Dileep after she recently sued the Supreme Court. approached with charges of political interference in the ongoing probe.
The Rajya Sabha MP of Congress and Jebi Mather, the Head of State of the Mahila Congress, have filed a complaint with the Rights Panel against CPI(M) Secretary of State Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, Transport Minister Antony Raju and party veteran and former Minister MM Mani , accusing them of hurting her self-esteem. and insulting the woman with degrading comments.
The indictment, which sought action against the leaders, also said it was an insult to her to belittle serious problems facing the survivor as a woman with purely politically motivated charges.
Such unsavory comments, made to save the face of the left-wing government and cover up the flaws in the investigation, amounted to curtailing the rights of the survivor under the UN Declaration of Fundamental Principles of Justice for Crime Victims and abuse of power 1985, it added.
The Congress MP approached the rights panel a day after the ruling LDF and opposition UDF shut down over the survivor’s recent plea made by the victim in the Kerala High Court alleging political interference by the ruling LDF government and that there was a movement to derail the probe.
While LDF Covenant EP Jayarajan had said it was necessary to investigate whether there was a “vested interest” behind the plea as it was submitted at a time when the Thrikkakara poll was imminent, Kodiyeri Balakrishnan and Antony Raju also have similar doubts expressed about the time of filing the petition.
When the matter sparked controversy, Prime Minister Pinarayi Vijayan made it clear that his government was involved in the victim of the sexual assault of an actress in 2017 and that the police investigation was in no way disrupted by the left-wing government.
He also said his government has not stopped the police from pursuing the case, nor has it ever told the police that it cannot take action against prominent individuals.
Meanwhile, the survivor had criticized the government and the court in her plea and requested the intervention of the Supreme Court.
“It is painfully argued that the Government of Kerala, which has supported the petitioner/victim’s case in its early stages and allowed a fair investigation into the case by senior police officers and politically took credit for the investigation, has backed down from its constitutional legal commitment to conduct a free, fair and full investigation into the case,” she said in her plea.
She also alleged that Dileep has unlawfully influenced a number of politicians on the ruling front in the state and has tried to disrupt further investigation into the case and close it prematurely.
The actress-victim who has worked in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam films was abducted and allegedly molested in her car for two hours by some of the suspects, who were forced into the vehicle on the night of February 17, 2017 and later. . escaped in a busy environment. The entire act was filmed by some of the accused to blackmail the actress.
