In total, following the publishing of the redacted version of Hema Committee’s 300-page report in 2024, approximately 40 related complaints were formally lodged at police stations across Kerala.

Thirty of these cases have reached the chargesheet stage, with several prominent figures in the Malayalam film industry—including Mukesh, Maniyanpilla Raju, Siddique, and director Ranjith—facing legal scrutiny.

Proceedings in these cases are ongoing. Police officials have stated that in many of the cases triggered by the committee’s findings, no specific names were initially mentioned, placing the onus on investigators to gather statements from the survivors.

However, even after multiple court notices, many chose not to proceed, citing concerns over safety, professional repercussions, and loss of privacy.

The Hema Committee was established in the aftermath of the 2017 actress assault case, which triggered nationwide outrage and demands for institutional reform within the industry.
