Kerala police intensifies action against cyberattacks targeting actor Honey Rose
record her statement
Kochi, Jan 7: Kerala police have recorded the statement of Malayalam actress Honey Rose in connection with her recent complaint against the alleged obscene remarks on her social media page.
The actress turned up at the central police station here on Monday and gave her statement, police said. The Kochi Central Police has already registered a case against 30 persons and arrested one among them over her complaint against sexual harassment through social media.
"We have intensified our investigation. Many of those who posted such remarks have deleted them. Efforts are on to retrieve such posts and identify the accused," a police officer said.
The case was registered based on a complaint lodged by the actress on Sunday night. The arrested man was identified as Shaji, a 60-year-old man hailing from nearby Panangadu.
The accused were booked under various sections of the BNS, including section 75 and section 67 of the IT Act. BNS 75 deals with sexual harassment, and IT Act section 67 refers to punishment for publishing or transmitting obscene material in electronic form.
The actress on Sunday put out a Facebook post accusing an individual of stalking her and making sexually inappropriate remarks, including through media platforms, which she claimed outraged her modesty.
A number of people posted offensive comments below the particular post, prompting Rose to approach the police. Rose again came out with a fresh social media post on Monday against those who make objectionable comments on her way of dressing in public programmes.
Honey Rose is known for her roles in a handful of movies in Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu.

Indian Defence forces committed to adapting to changing environment: CDS General Chauhan
Hyderabad (PTI): Asserting that war and warfare is at the cusp of a major revolution, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan on Saturday said the Indian Defence forces are committed to adapting to changing environment and imbibing reforms to remain ready and relevant.
Addressing the Combined Graduation Parade (CGP) of 216 Course held at the Air Force Academy at Dundigal near here, General Chauhan said India's strength rests on robust institutions, democratic stability, and unwavering professionalism of our Armed Forces.
He said the intensity of operations may have ebbed, but Operation Sindoor continues.
"You (new officers) also join the Air Force at a moment when a new normal has firmly taken shape. An era defined by a high degree of operational preparedness, 24-7, 365 days. The intensity of operations may have ebbed, but Operation Sindhur continues," he said.
He further said the newly trained officers are entering the Indian Air Force during a phase of deep transformation of the Indian Armed Forces.
Integrated structures, joint operations, and national pursuit of Atmanirbhar Bharat in defence are shaping the future of India's military strength, he said.
"Your journey ahead will be accordingly guided by Jai, the first word of Jai Hind, that's victory. 'J' stands for jointness, fighting as one nation, one force. 'A' stands for Atmanirbhar Bharat, trusted platforms and systems made not just for India but for the world. And finally, 'I' for innovation, daring to think ahead and to be ahead of the curve," he explained.
General Chauhan further said battles in the older domains will always remain contested, often brutal. But in the new domains, they will be smart, swift, and shaped by intellect, innovation, and initiative. The force that masters new frontiers is more likely to prevail in future conflicts.
