Baseless statement about me; actor Rima Kallingal issues defamation notice against Suchitra

Malayalam actor Rima Kallingal has taken action against singer Suchitra following allegations that she hosted rave parties at her home. Rima Kallingal has labelled these claims as "baseless" and has issued a defamation notice against Suchitra. The actor announced her decision to pursue legal action through a note shared on social media. She also captions the post, “Thank you for all the support. Onwards.”

The full note

“For years, many of you have stood with the WCC and its cause. It is this support and trust that prompts me to write to you now.

Over the past two days, several news outlets have reported on statements made by Tamil singer Suchitra in an interview with a YouTube channel. In the 30-minute interview, she not only names and shames the survivor of the 2017 sexual assault, claiming the survivor "knew it was coming," but also alleges that CM Pinarayi, Mohanlal, and Mammootty conspired through the Hema Committee to sabotage the careers of actors like Fahadh. We all know why the Hema Committee was formed, and anyone suggesting otherwise should be questioned.

Although these wild theories did not make it into the mainstream news, her baseless statement about me - based on a news article she read about my so-called "arrest" - gained traction. Let me make it clear that such an event never occurred.

I have decided to take action. I have filed a complaint with the Special Investigation Team and sent a defamation notice. 

To all who believe in our cause, let’s continue to march ahead together. Thank you for your support.”
