LDF convener TP Ramakrishnan on Friday said there was no delay on the part of the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) in dealing with the harassment complaint against filmmaker PT Kunju Muhammad, who is also a former Left MLA.
Mr Muhammad is facing a police investigation for allegedly harassing a woman from the film industry at a hotel in Thiruvananthapuram where they had gathered to select Malayalam films for the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK).
The opposition claimed that the case was registered 12 days after the woman submitted her complaint to the chief minister. Responding to questions from reporters, Mr. Ramakrishnan denied the allegations and said there was no delay.
“I understand that once the complaint was received, it was forwarded to the police. The opposition should only comment after verifying whether the complaint was forwarded from the CMO to the police,” he said.
“Some petitions require an initial investigation. The police may need time to establish the facts before taking action,” he said.
