KANNUR/KOZHIKODE: Coming out against social media posts and reports framing certain film personalities in the actor assault case, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Friday said the police will not go after fictitious names propagated by a few.
“The incident was a plot hatched by the main accused and the investigation is on the right track.
There have been attempts by a few to target certain film personalities. News reports on police questioning an actor as part of the probe are wrong.
Police will take appropriate action in case they get any leads on involvement of other persons,” Pinarayi said at a function here.
Earlier, in another function at Thalassery, he said it was inappropriate to manufacture a culprit in the case. “The attempt is to find the real perpetrators of the crime.
Almost all the accused in the case have been arrested,” he said. Pinarayi said the government would support Mollywood’s effort to prevent the underworld from taking control of the industry.
“The industry should take steps to check the background of those joining the production houses as helpers in the film sets,” Pinarayi said at the switch on function of P T Kunju Muhammed’s film.
