Harassment charge resurfaces against actor-MLA Mukesh

KOLLAM: In the wake of the Hema Committee report, the harassment allegation against actor M Mukesh has resurfaced. Casting director Tess Joseph had accused Mukesh of inappropriate behaviour during an event several years ago. She reignited the harassment allegation on Saturday, claiming that Mukesh summoned her to his hotel room multiple times during the event.

Taking to Instagram, she expressed her disillusionment with the justice system and the industry’s response to such issues.

“We trust these systems to bring us justice, but when I see endless lawyers lining up to defend the state in West Bengal or the silence of an industry on the Hema Committee report, it feels like justice isn’t even the point anymore,” she posted.

“How can I trust that things will get better? Trust? It’s become a commodity, something I’m not willing to hand out so easily anymore. That deeply saddens me,” she said further.
