Activist Rahul Easwar has requested pre-arrest bail from the Kerala High Court amid allegations of cyber harassment by a woman actor. The actor previously filed a complaint against Boby Chemmannur for making inappropriate remarks online. Easwar has not been charged with any crime but fears being named as a co-accused in Chemmannur's case, who has already been arrested. He argues that his comments were constructive criticism and protected under the Indian Constitution. In his petition, Easwar stated that his remarks focused on the actor's choice of attire and emphasized that he had called for Chemmannur to apologize for his comments.
