Kerala police are planning to summon actress Rima Kallingal to police station based on a complaint that she revealed the name of the assaulted actress in social media. The complaint was filed by Abdulla Sayani, a native of Binanipuram, Aluva.

The actress is likely to be charged under Section 228 (A) of the IPC which invites imprisonment up to two years. 

Rima is the third person to court controversy by naming the actress. Earlier, cases were booked against actor Kamal Hassan and Aju Varghese for naming the assaulted actress in public.
