AMMA row: Ansiba Hassan says ‘yet to get justice’ from police on her complaint against actors Shwetha Menon, Lakshmipriya
Actor Ansiba Hassan has expressed dissatisfaction with the police's handling of her defamation complaint against fellow actors Shwetha Menon and Lakshmipriya. The police stated they could not register an FIR because the allegations were limited to defamation.
Why it matters
The case highlights ongoing debates regarding legal protections against online defamation and the application of equality laws in India.
Actor Ansiba Hassan has said she has “not yet received justice” from the police on a complaint filed by her against fellow actors Shwetha Menon and Lakshmipriya alleging an organised malicious campaign by them.
In a social media post on Tuesday, Ms. Hassan said she felt “happy” after learning that the police have taken action against those responsible for defaming women through social media platforms.
She was referring to two cases in which the police had acted against such persons, including the arrest of a YouTuber, Rajan Joseph from Kochi, on Saturday (July 11) night by the Adoor police for allegedly posting defamatory content against Congress leader and Pathanamthitta district panchayat member Sreenadevi Kunjamma.
