Malayalam actor Sreejith Ravi was arrested on Thursday under the POCSO Act for obscene exposure in Thrissur. Popular actor TGRV’s son Sreejeet was arrested in 2016 for a similar offense but managed to get out after the police registered a case on alleged frivolous grounds.
On July 4, two children, aged 14 and 9, complained to the police that a man in a black car behaved indecently at a park in Thrissur, the state’s cultural capital.
Soon Thrissur West police swung into action and checked the CCTV footage and managed to zero-in the car. After reaching the house of the accused, they came to know that it is of actor Sreejeet.
He has been taken into custody and a detailed investigation has been initiated into the matter.
Forty-six-year-old Sreejeet is a mechanical engineer by profession and also has a management degree. He entered the Malayalam film industry in 2005 and acted in over 70 films.
