The actor has been arrested under section 11 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSOO) Act. According to the reports, the incident took place on July 4 in the Thrissur district.
As per the police, the actor was sitting in his car when two minors came. Sreejith, who is the son of veteran actor TG Ravi, then got out of the car and allegedly exhibited his genitals
According to the Onmanorama report, the police investigated the incident based on his vehicle. The report also stated that Sreejith has been booked for the incident and during the investigation, he confessed that he has apparently been undergoing treatment for his behavioural disorder.
However, this is not the first time that Sreejith has been booked for an obscene act. A few years ago, he was detained in a similar case.
According to an NDTV report, in 2016, the actor was arrested after a group of 14 schoolgirls from Palakkad accused him of exposing himself to them in public. Later, he was granted bail. However, the case did not come into the limelight again. The parents of the minor girls accused the police of sabotaging the case without collecting the necessary evidence.
