KERALA, (India): The Kerala police booked noted actor and former general secretary of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) Siddique on the charge of alleged rape after a woman actor accused him of sexual assault on her at a hotel here.

The case was registered based on a complaint filed by the woman actor.

She filed the complaint with the state police chief via email on Tuesday (Aug 27) alleging that Siddique had raped her at a hotel in Thiruvananthapuram in 2016.

Siddique has also been booked on the charges of illegally detaining and threatening the actress.

The case will now be transferred to a special investigation team (SIT) probing the allegations of sexual harassment in the Malayalam film industry. - The Statesman/ANN
