The complaints against Shwetha Menon allege that she made financial gains by acting in obscene films
Actor Irshad Ali has mocked the police’s decision to file a case against actress Shwetha Menon and expressed his support for her through a Facebook post. His message was shared alongside the poster of the film Paadam Onnu: Oru Vilapam, in which he starred alongside Meera Jasmine.
“As far as I know, Meera Jasmine is currently in America. Even after deploying Sethurama Iyer to investigate, I haven’t been able to find out if she has contacted any lawyer! Should I apply for anticipatory bail? Or should I go into hiding?” Irshad wrote in his post.
He also included hashtags such as #WithShwethaMenon, #ProtectArtistsRights, #MisuseOfLaw, #ArtisticFreedom, and #Censorship. The post has garnered thousands of likes and hundreds of comments.
The complaints against Shwetha Menon allege that she made financial gains by acting in obscene films. Earlier, the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) court directed the filing of a case based on the complaint. Subsequently, the Ernakulam Central Police registered an FIR against the actress. However, Shwetha Menon approached the High Court and secured a stay on the CJM court’s order.
