‘I am posting this to protect my family’: Actress alleges harassment despite police complaints

Actor and dubbing artist Raveena Ravi has publicly alleged that she and her family have been subjected to harassment for the last three years by two individuals. In a detailed Instagram post, she stated that despite filing police complaints and receiving warnings issued to the accused, the harassment has continued.

Sharing screenshots of messages and comments, Raveena identified the alleged harassers as a person named Sabarish and his twin brother. She claimed that the two men have used “disgusting language in messages and comments”, targeting not only her but also her family and friends.

In her note titled “PUBLIC AWARENESS: DO NOT IGNORE”, she wrote that she had initially chosen to remain silent in the hope that legal action and police intervention would resolve the issue. However, she stated that the individuals continue to operate through multiple accounts and persist in stalking and harassing her and others.

“I am posting this to protect my family, my friends, and myself from a stalker who has been harassing us for three years,” she wrote, adding that she was “deeply sorry” to her loved ones who have been affected. She further stated, “We have tried the legal route, but the harassment hasn’t stopped.”

Raveena also alleged that the accused create fabricated narratives, including claims of having already met her or having a “fixed marriage”.

In her post, she tagged the official Instagram accounts of the National Commission for Women, Tamil Nadu Police, the Cyber Crime Wing of Tamil Nadu, and the Greater Chennai Traffic Police. Referring to Chennai’s reputation as one of the safest cities for women in India, she wrote that she hoped authorities would take action to ensure safety for everyone.
