Thiruvananthapuram's judicial system has mandated a police investigation against BJP councillor and former DGP R Sreelekha. This decision comes in response to allegations of victim identity disclosure in a sexual offence case through social media.
The order was issued by Judicial First Class Magistrate Tania Mariam Jose on February 23, following a complaint by R Jayachandran. The complaint alleges that Sreelekha revealed the identities of victims in a video posted on her YouTube channel.
The initial directive for investigation was given earlier this year, but the petitioner claimed no action had been taken. With the court's latest orders, the Museum police station is set to register a case and commence investigations.
