**Kochi, Kerala:** Malayalam actor Siddique is reportedly on the run after the Kerala High Court dismissed his anticipatory bail plea in a sexual assault case. The Kerala Police has issued a lookout notice against the 61-year-old actor, fearing he may have fled the state.

The notice, displayed at all police stations across Kerala, features Siddique’s photo. Authorities have been unable to locate him since the court ruling on Tuesday, with his phone switched off and no presence at his home in Aluva, Ernakulam.

The actress who filed the sexual assault case in August has expressed concern over Siddique’s disappearance, questioning if authorities are attempting to protect him. Following the allegations, Siddique resigned from his position as general secretary of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA).

Siddique, charged with rape and criminal intimidation, has denied the accusations. The police are actively investigating the case and are urging anyone with information on Siddique’s whereabouts to come forward.
