The court directs the police to register a case, investigate Ansiba’s complaint

The Ernakulam District Court on Tuesday directed the police to register a case and investigate the complaint filed by actress Ansiba Hassan against fellow actor Tiny Tom.

Sanhita and Section 119(a) of the Kerala Police Act.

However, the Kadavanthra police said that they have not yet received the order and necessary action will be taken once it is received.
