Malayalam film actor and politician M. Mukesh on September 24 appeared before the Special Investigation Team (SIT) set up to look into sexual assault cases that have been filed against celebrities in the Malayalam film industry after the Justice Hema Committee report was made public recently. He was quizzed for about three hours and also underwent medical examinations including a potency test. The actor-politician had recently secured pre-arrest bail in the sexual assault case against him.
The SIT formally recorded Mukesh’s arrest as a legal technicality as part of the bail procedures, letting him off soon after.
