Malayan actor Siddique questioned over rape allegations, part of the industry's "Me Too" movement.

Malayan actor Siddique appeared for questioning in Thiruvananthapuram regarding a sexual abuse case. The Supreme Court granted him anticipatory bail in November, requiring him to surrender his passport and cooperate with the investigation. A young actress accused Siddique of rape and criminal intimidation in 2016, leading to his resignation as general secretary of AMMA. This case is part of a broader "Me Too" movement in the Malayalam film industry exposing sexual abuse allegations.
