Thiruvananthapuram: An actress in Kerala took to social media to narrate her harrowing experience of being sexually harassed at a mall in Kochi, the state police has filed a case based on the actress mother’s statement. The actress, who was at the mall, was with her family when the incident took place. The Kerala Women’s Commission has taken up the case on its own.

Two men walked past me in a generously spaced aisle in lulu hypermarket, which barely had people crowding and one of them not so accidentally grazed his hand on my back while walking past me. Because it caught me off guard I couldn’t react immediately.

My sister saw this very clearly as she was standing not so far away. She came to me and asked if I was okay. I was clearly not. The fact that it looked deliberate even for her made it clear that I was not imaging this. I was blank for a minute trying to process this.

“I was still so angry because I couldn’t say anything. I couldn’t think of a sensible sentence at that time. My sister and I left the aisle and joined my mom and brother at the vegetable counter. These men apparently followed us. While my mom and brother got busy picking up things Su and I were trying to move the cart to bill. These men came to us again and this time that guy had the audacity to talk to me and my sister.
