Wed Jan 08 09:50:00 UTC 2025: **Businessman Bobby Chemmannur Arrested for Sexual Harassment**
KOCHI, January 8, 2025 – Businessman Bobby Chemmannur was arrested late last night on charges of sexual harassment following a complaint filed by actress Honey Rose. Police took Chemmannur into custody in Wayanad earlier in the day and brought him to Ernakulam Central Station for processing.
The arrest follows a two-hour, confidential testimony given by Honey Rose before the Ernakulam First Class Judicial Magistrate. The details of her statement remain undisclosed, but police will use this information to determine if further charges should be filed against Chemmannur.
Honey Rose’s initial complaint detailed instances of sexual harassment and defamation by Chemmannur, citing incidents connected to the inauguration of a jewelry store he owns in Kannur. She also provided digital evidence of subsequent online harassment, including sexually suggestive remarks and manipulated thumbnails featuring her image and name on approximately twenty YouTube channels. She has filed separate complaints against these channels.
Currently, Chemmannur is charged under sections 75 of the Indian Penal Code (relating to sexual harassment) and section 67 of the Information Technology Act. The confidential testimony may lead to additional charges.
