'Fired her for poor acting, there is conspiracy'; Actress responds to Ranjith's arrest

Actress Sajitha Mathathil used sardonic wit to respond to the suspension of director Ranjith from FEFKA, who was remanded in custody over a sexual harassment complaint by a young actress. FEFKA General Secretary B Unnikrishnan had announced that Ranjith would be suspended from the Directors' Union and the Writers' Union. B Unnikrishnan had also clarified that the young actress has not yet filed a complaint with FEFKA or the Internal Complaints Committee.

From Sajitha's Facebook post:

The discussions ongoing in the organisation:

We believe in court, and we even suspended him.

Since the case is in court, we shouldn't talk about that issue. However, I can tell you a secret.. This is a conspiracy. That girl doesn't know how to act.. and he fired her. It is for the same reason that she filed a complaint. But we are with her # Avalkoppam

(Such perpetrators will come back stronger and will do more movies. The poor actress who showed the nerve to file a complaint will walk out of the industry. Even those who supported her will not be given any chance in movies.)
