The case against Siddique was filed after the police in Thiruvananthapuram registered an FIR based on a complaint from a female actor.
Actor Siddique on Monday approached the Kerala High Court seeking anticipatory bail in a sexual assault case filed against him. The actor's legal move comes amid the ongoing "Me Too" storm, which has shaken the Malayalam film industry.
The case against Siddique was filed after the police in Thiruvananthapuram registered an FIR based on a complaint from a female actor.
Earlier this week, Siddique quit as the general secretary of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA) along with its entire 17-member executive committee following serious allegations of sexual abuse made by several female actors against prominent Malayalam cinema figures, including director Ranjith and actors Siddique and Mukesh.
