Honey Rose expressed that it was a peaceful day for her after the police took action against her alleged assaulter.

While speaking to a news channel, Rose said that she had raised the matter with Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who assured her of strong action against the culprit.

A Special Investigation Team (SIT), led by the Circle Inspector of Kochi Central Station, was constituted to investigate the allegations of sexual harassment filed by the actress against Chemmanur.

The issue came to light for the first time on Sunday when the actress posted on Facebook, accusing an individual of stalking her and making sexually inappropriate remarks through various media platforms, which she claimed outraged her modesty.

However, she had not revealed the identity of the man at that time.

The issue intensified after several people posted offensive comments on her post, prompting Rose to contact the police. The Kochi Central Police had registered a case against 30 people and arrested one of them on this complaint.

Rose, on Tuesday, again came up with a fresh social media post revealing the identity of the person against whom she made sexual harassment allegations in her first complaint.

"Yes, definitely, the mental toughness of this side is totally different. We are a united bunch and we backed each other and motivated each other when chips were down," Harmanpreet told PTI after returning to the country on Saturday.

“You have brought immense glory to India and have inspired millions of young athletes to pursue their dreams,” Mandaviya was quoted as saying in a media release.

In the post addressing Boby Chemmannur, she said she filed a complaint against him at the Kochi Central Station.

"I have filed a complaint with the Ernakulam Central Police Station against your (Chemmanur) continuous derogatory remarks about me. I will take the same action against your supporters who share the same mentality. You can continue to rely on your wealth, but I have faith in the Indian legal system," she said in her Facebook post.

She also warned others with a "similar mindset" to face legal action. In the Facebook post, Rose further told the businessman to continue believing in his money power.

Based on the complaint lodged by the actress, the Central Police on Tuesday night registered a case against Chemmanur under various sections of the BNS and Section 67 of the IT Act.

The jeweller further claimed that he behaves decently with women and said he discussed the matter with his lawyersubet63, who said there was nothing objectionable in what he had said. Rose is known for her roles in a handful of movies in Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu.
