Boby Chemmanur, a prominent jewelry brand owner in Kerala, has been taken into judicial custody following a sexual harassment complaint filed by Malayalam actress Honey Rose. The arrest came after the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) by Kerala police to investigate the allegations. The actress accused Chemmanur of making repeated sexually inappropriate remarks and stalking her through social media platforms.
Rose initially raised the issue in a Facebook post, where she claimed Chemmanur's remarks “outraged her modesty.” The situation escalated when offensive comments were posted on her post, prompting her to file a formal complaint with the police. The case was registered under non-bailable sections, and the SIT is continuing its investigation, with Rose's statement being the first step.
Chemmanur has denied the accusations, claiming he never made offensive remarks and that he always treated Rose respectfully. The jeweler insists that his words were misunderstood, asserting that he has always conducted himself respectfully towards women. The investigation continues, and the police have also arrested 30 people connected to offensive online comments related to the incident.
This case has drawn significant attention, as the Kerala jewelry industry and public figures continue to follow developments.
