Raveena Ravi names alleged harassers after years of complaints, seeks public support

Actor and voice artist Raveena Ravi has exposed two individuals on Instagram, who she alleges have harassed her and her family for the past three years. She shared her ordeal on Instagram, saying that despite repeated complaints with the Chennai police, the harassment has persisted through various accounts.

She posted images of the individuals, named Sabarish and his twin brother, on her Instagram account to raise awareness and seek protection for herself and her loved ones.

In her post, Ravi described how the men have targeted not only her but also her friends and family with persistent messages and comments. She emphasised that legal action had not deterred the alleged harassers. "PUBLIC AWARENESS: DO NOT IGNORE. I am posting this to protect my family, my friends, and myself from a stalker who has been harassing us for three years (sic)," Ravi wrote.

Ravi detailed the distress caused by the ongoing harassment, citing the use of obscene and abusive language directed at her and those close to her. She expressed regret that her family and friends had to endure this situation.

"I've stayed quiet hoping that police complaints and warnings would stop this. Unfortunately, a person named Sabarish and his twin brother continue to harass me, my family, and my friends. They use disgusting language in messages and comments, targeting not just me, but also those close to me. I am deeply sorry to my friends and family who have had to deal with this because of me. We have tried the legal route, but the harassment hasn’t stopped," she wrote.

The actor also claimed that the harassment extended beyond her immediate circle, affecting other women in the industry. She write, "Apparently, he operates from multitudes of accounts and finds ways to stalk and harass not just me, but various other women actors and practitioners establishing made up scenarios of having 'already met', 'fixed marriage'."

Ravi appealed to the public for vigilance. She urged followers to be cautious about engaging with the alleged harassers online: "Block and Report his profile. Be alert if you receive any messages from him or his brother. Do not engage with their comments or messages (sic)."

Additionally, Ravi questioned the reputation of Chennai as a safe city for women, writing, "Chennai is often called the safest city for women in India. I truly hope the authorities take action against such creeps to prove that this city is safe for everyone," by tagging Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, National Commission of Women, Tamil Nadu police and cyber crime pages.
