Hema Committee report: Actor-MLA Mukesh questioned by SIT

A court had earlier granted Mukesh anticipatory bail with the condition that he should cooperate with the investigation team

The special investigation team (SIT) probing the complaints against Malayalam film industry personalities in the wake of the Hema Committee report questioned actor-legislator M. Mukesh at the Coastal Police headquarters in Kochi, Kerala, on Tuesday (September 24, 2024).

The SIT team conducting the interrogation was led by Coastal AIG G. Poonkuzhali.

Mr. Mukesh appeared before the SIT in a case registered by the Maradu police.

The District and Sessions Court, Ernakulam, had earlier granted him anticipatory bail in the case with the condition that he should cooperate with the investigation team.

A junior woman actor had complained that Mr. Mukesh had raped her and outraged her modesty a few years ago. The Maradu police had booked the case against the actor following the complaint.
