So far no arrest has been recorded,” said the official who did not wish to be identified. The actor was taken into custody after a group of school girls alleged that he exposed himself before them, which has been denied by him. The incident occurred last month. The FIR did not carry the actor’s name and only mentioned the car’s registration number. There were also allegations that the police were trying to protect the actor. Ravi, an engineer by profession, is the son of hugely popular actor TG Ravi who has been in the industry for more than four decades. Ravi junior began his film career in 2005 and has donned the grease paint in more than 50 films, including Nallu Penunngel directed by Adoor Gopalakrishnan. Some of his other popular films include Chanthupottu and Mission 90 Days, which tells the tale of the Rajiv Gandhi assassination. With inputs from IANS
