Actor Sreejith Ravi arrested after schoolgirls alleged he 'exposed' himself before them

Palakkad: Malayalam film actor Sreejith Ravi was Friday arrested by the Ottapalam police following complaints from a few school girls of misbehaviour.

The actor was taken into custody Thursday after a group of school girls alleged that he exposed himself before them, which has been denied by the actor.

The incident occurred last month.

Ravi, an engineer by profession, is the son of hugely popular actor T.G. Ravi who has been in the industry for the past more than four decades.

Ravi jr began his film career in 2005 and has donned the grease paint in more than 50 films, including "Nallu Penunngel" directed by Adoor Gopalakrishnan.

Some of his other popular films include "Chanthupottu" and "Mission 90 Days", which tells the tale of the Rajiv Gandhi assassination.
