Kozhikode: A lookout notice has been issued against actor-director Kootikal Jayachandran in the case of sexually assaulting a 4-year-old girl. A lookout notice was issued on Monday night in view of the possibility of the accused going abroad. The Kozhikode Sessions Court and the High Court last week rejected the actor’s anticipatory bail plea in the case.

The Kasaba police registered a POCSO case in June 2024 following a complaint by the child’s mother. After this, Jayachandran went into hiding. Since then, a special investigation team was formed and the investigation was carried out, but the actor could not be caught.

Recently, the child’s relatives had filed a complaint with the state police chief and commissioner, citing delay in action against Jayachandran in the case.

Kochi: The High Court has granted interim bail to the accused in the POCSO case registered against the reporter channel in connection with the double meaning in reporting on the state school Kalolsava. The order of Justice PV Kunjikrishnan was made on the anticipatory bail application filed by consulting editor Arunkumar and reporter Shahabas.

Thiruvananthapuram: The government has declared a dies non, stating that the salaries of those participating in the strike announced for January 22 will be reduced. The CPI service organization, Joint Council, and the Congress service organizations have announced the strike on January 22 citing various reasons.

The employees are preparing for the strike with demands such as withdrawing the participatory pension scheme and reinstating the old pension scheme, initiating the twelfth salary revision process, and taking over the Medisep health insurance scheme by the government.

Thiruvananthapuram: State government employees and teachers will go on strike on 22nd. The strike has been called by the joint employees’ organizations of the opposition organization State Employees and Teachers Organization (SETO) and the ruling party CPI’s organization Joint Council. The strike was led by the government’s stance of withholding benefits such as famine allowance, salary revision, leave surrender, salary revision arrears, and the announced 78 months of DA arrears.

The strike is also a witness to the political curiosity that the Congress and the CPI are going on strike against the government on the same day.

Kochi: The Youth Commission has registered a case against Rahul Eshwar for his constant insulting of women. A case has been registered on the complaint filed by an organization called Disha, pointing out abusive remarks against actress Honey Rose.

Youth Commission President Shajar asked that those who abuse and insult the lives of the people should not participate in the discussions of the channels.

Actress Honey Rose filed a police complaint against Rahul Eshwar alleging that he made bad remarks and insulted her. Following this, the High Court has sought the position of the police on the petition filed by Rahul Eshwar for anticipatory bail. The anticipatory bail application has been postponed to next 27th. Rahul Eshwar approached the High Court that there is a possibility of arresting him in the case in which Bobby Chemmanur is an accused and requested that this be stopped.
