KOCHI: A week after allegations of sexual harassment were made against Jayasurya, the actor on Sunday responded that he would be moving legally against the false allegations.
“I have decided to move forward with this legally. My legal team will be looking after the rest of the proceedings regarding the case. False allegations are easy to make for anyone who lacks a conscience. I only hope one realises that facing a false accusation of harassment is just as painful as the harassment itself,” he said in a social media post.
Two sexual harassment cases were registered against the actor last week by the special investigation team. According to one complainant, the incident happened in 2008 during the shooting of Dhe Ingottu Nokkiye.
The actor also stated that his family including him is in the US. “Due to my personal commitments, my family and I have been in America for the past month and during this time two false allegations on the grounds of sexual harassment were made against me.
Quite naturally, it has shattered me, my family and everyone who has held me close. I will be back as soon as I finish my work here. All the legal proceedings to prove my innocence will continue. I have complete faith in our judicial system,” he added.
