Trigger warning: This article contains mention of sexual abuse.
Actor Jayasurya recently found himself under the scanner following sexual harassment allegations leveled by a female colleague as part of the findings of the Hema Committee report. The actor was summoned by the Kerala Police for questioning over the matter and he strongly denied such claims.
As reported by Manorama, the actor reached Thiruvananthapuram police station on Tuesday morning for questioning in the registered case. He strongly denied the claims, calling them fabrications and said he would not even require any anticipatory bail if the case proceeded.
Jayasuriya said, “I completely deny the allegations.” This is a fabricated matter. I don’t even need anticipatory bail. It is worrying that people are making such false allegations against anyone. At least I have a platform to present my side. Many others do not do this. “This could destabilize many families.”
Not only this, Jayasuriya also described himself as a living martyr in view of the two vague and false cases filed against him by female colleagues. He expressed confidence in the judicial system and said that he will go to the last extent to prove himself guilty.
The Vellam star said, “I am facing two false charges. A woman is talking at many places saying that it is me, but later she also denied it many times. I will fight for this legally until the allegations against me are proven false. I believe that I am a living martyr.
For those unaware, it was September 1, 2024, when Jayasuriya first addressed the sexual abuse cases filed against him by women. Referring to the claims of his female colleagues about his misbehavior, the actor revealed how it troubled them and even worried his family members.
Through a detailed post on Instagram, Jayasuriya also acknowledged the countless people—his fans and supporters—who have been by his side all through. Furthermore, he assured everyone that he will pursue such brutal allegations through the legal path and will not stop until the truth is established.
