 "Who is Rini Ann George, the actress who accused Kerala politician of sending inappropriate messages")
Malayalam actress and former journalist Rini Ann George recently accused Palakkad MLA Rahul Mamkootathil of sending her inappropriate text messages without taking his name earlier. She shared that the leader of a political party had invited her to a hotel, and when she threatened to inform his party, he challenged her to go ahead.
Addressing reporters, George claimed she repeatedly warned the leader and complained to senior party officials, but his behaviour continued. She, however, refused to disclose the leader’s name or his party, despite repeated questions from reporters.
The actress spoke out following a recent online interview, which went viral, where she made the allegations publicly for the first time.
“I came in contact with the politician through social media. His inappropriate behaviour began three years ago, when I first received objectionable messages from him,” George claimed.
“I received inappropriate messages from the politician. He invited me to a location to spend time with him. When I told him that I would complain about him, he challenged me to go through with it. ‘Who cares?’ was his attitude,” said Rini as per On Manorama.
“I have not suffered any assault; I only received these messages. But through my friends, I learned that several other women faced harassment, and I am speaking up for them,” she said.
Soon after Rini, author Honey Bhaskaran also accused the MLA of the same allegations through FB post.
