The Panangad police have registered a case against a man for allegedly defaming actor Tovino Thomas over social media platform Instagram.
A First Information Report (FIR) was registered on August 8 after a petition filed by the actor with the State Police Chief was forwarded to the Panangad police. The FIR, however, named the accused as yet unidentified.
“We are currently investigating the case and the accused remains to be traced. We cannot yet share his identity,” said Panangad police sources. Once the accused is tracked down, his mobile phone purportedly used for making the alleged defamatory messages would have to be seized for forensic examination.
