As someone who has closely followed the events unfolding in the Malayalam film industry, I find myself deeply disheartened and disappointed by the recent turn of events involving actor Siddique. The allegations against him are grave and the fact that he has chosen to evade arrest instead of clearing his name through due process is concerning.
For some time now, Malayalam actor Siddique has been under scrutiny following allegations of sexual misconduct by a fellow actress. In a recent development, the Kerala Police has issued a warrant for Siddique’s arrest as he is believed to be hiding from authorities. It’s important to note that Siddique disappeared after the court refused his request for protective bail in the sexual assault case.
According to an article in India Today, a wanted notice has been distributed to the heads of every police station in Kerala concerning Siddique due to suspicions that he might have left the state. The authorities decided to issue this notice because they believe Siddique may have fled, and as such, his photo and details have been sent to all police stations.
On the 24th of September, the Kerela High Court refused Siddique’s request for anticipatory bail. Following this decision, he appealed to the Supreme Court to overturn the verdict. Simultaneously, the Crime Branch instructed the Kochi police to apprehend Siddique.
Following this, the Malayalam actor disappeared in apprehension of being taken into custody. Since then, he’s been out of sight. Nonetheless, a fresh update from Onmanorama hints that his phone briefly made contact before going offline once more.
As a committed admirer, let me clarify for those less familiar: A female performer alleged that Sidhique had sexually assaulted her on January 28, 2016, at a hotel in Thiruvananthapuram following a preview show of a movie. The accusation surfaced after the Hema Committee report, which sparked controversy yet opened eyes, was made public. This report has sent shockwaves through the Malayalam film industry, causing it to reel.
Following a complaint, Siddique resigned from his role as the General Secretary of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA), it’s important to note that he is currently facing charges for rape (under Section 376) and criminal intimidation (Section 506).
