In addition, they are publicly sharing phone audio clips that abuse even women from the families of prominent celebrities in an extremely obscene manner via live. They have talked very lightly about drug mafia connections and atrocities falling under the purview of POCSO, and now they are blowing away all femininity and dignity,' said Sreejith Perumana. Thoppi’s former friends exposed the crimes. They are also accused of defaming singer Hanan Shah's family.
