The Kochi City police detained businessman Bobby Chemmanur, also known as Boche, less than 24 hours after a case was registered against him based on a complaint by actor Honey Rose. The complaint accused Chemmanur of making sexually charged comments about her on social media and during an inaugural function.


On Monday, Honey Rose lodged the complaint and named around 30 individuals who allegedly posted sexist remarks against her on social media platforms, as per a report on PTI.


As part of the investigation, the police earlier arrested a 60-year-old man, Shaji, from Kumbalam in Kochi, for his involvement in the case. Chemmanur was subsequently booked under Section 75 of the BNS Act (sexual harassment) and Section 67 of the IT Act (publishing or transmitting obscene material in electronic form).






In her Facebook post, she said, "I have filed a complaint with the Ernakulam Central Police Station against your (Chemmanur) continuous derogatory remarks about me. I will take the same action against your supporters who share the same mentality. You can continue to rely on your wealth, but I have faith in the Indian legal system." 


She also warned other against making such obscene remarks. 


However, Chemmanur denied the allegations and claimed that he did not use any derogatory terms.


"She attended two of my inauguration events. We danced... I used to tell jokes. She seemed to have no issue with those things. And now she lodged a complaint against me after months," the businessman said, as per the report.


Rose is known for her performances in a few Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu films.
