The complaint said Babu committed the offence on the pretext of offering the victims roles in movies. The complainant is a native of Kozhikode district.
However, Police have not questioned or arrested Vijay Babu yet. Meanwhile, Vijay Babu, who is caught in a #metoo allegation, has claimed to be the ‘real victim’ and said he will file a defamation case. Claiming that he was scripting ‘a new chapter in #metoo’, Vijay Babu repeatedly named the female actor in his Facebook Live past midnight Wednesday. Disclosing the identity of victims of certain offences (including sexual) is punishable as per law. Vijay Babu, however, said he was willing to face the consequences.
