The Kerala State Human Rights Commission has found that sexual harassment charges levelled against M. Krishnan Nampoothiri, a priest of the Ramapuram Devaswom, were fabricated. The judicial member of the commission had ordered an investigation into the incident after the priest’s wife approached the panel.

Mr. Nampoothiri was suspended from service after charges of misbehaviour with a woman was levelled against him. The police found that the charges were false. The police report sought action against those who foisted false charges.

The commission said the complainant may approach the police to take action against those involved in the crime.
