Malayalam actress Honey Rose expressed her gratitude to Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and the Kerala Police following the arrest of businessman Boby Chemmanur, whom she had accused of sexual harassment.
On January 5, Honey Rose filed a complaint alleging that Chemmanur had stalked her and made sexually inappropriate remarks, which she stated were a direct affront to her dignity.
Social Media Post Following Arrest
After Chemmanur’s arrest was reported, Honey Rose addressed the issue on Instagram, thanking the authorities. She wrote, “Thank you, thank you, thank you. In today’s world, a barrage of vile, obscene, and abusive social media comments can destroy a person, no knife or gun needed. When social media bullying is organized, its impact becomes even more harmful. Silence was not an option anymore.”
She further expressed appreciation for the support she received, saying, “I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Kerala Chief Minister Shri Pinarayi Vijayan and the Kerala Police for their unwavering support in ensuring the protection and rights enshrined in the Indian Constitution. My family and I are deeply thankful for their actions.”
