The Kerala government has constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate allegations of harassment and exploitation raised by female actors in the Malayalam film industry. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan met with top police officials to form the SIT, which includes senior female police officers. The move follows resignations by prominent figures, including filmmaker Ranjith and actor Siddique, amid misconduct allegations. The Hema Committee report highlighted a "criminal gang" controlling the industry, detailing widespread harassment. The government is addressing gender inequality in response to these findings.
