Kochi: The Ernakulam Central Police has confirmed receiving a complaint against self-proclaimed commentator Rahul Iswar. In a complaint filed by a Thrissur resident, Iswar is accused of making offensive comments about actor Honey Rose during a TV debate.

The police are likely to register a case based on the fresh complaint and also based on Honey Rose’s previous complaint filed by her at the same station. Meanwhile, Iswar applied for early release on bail.

Honey Rose had earlier responded to Iswar’s remarks by addressing the issue via social media and filing a lawsuit. The latest complaint was filed during her visit to the police station to testify in another case involving businessman Bobby Chemmanur. It is also expected that the police will take action against those who posted obscene comments about the actor on social networks.
