Actress Parvathy Thiruvoth criticized the government for the decision to close the cases registered on the Hema Committee report as the survivors are not willing to proceed further. The actress responded via an Instagram story after the news of the police decision to end the cases, surfaced. The story also tagged Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.

'Now we can focus on the actual reason this committee was formed? Putting policies in place to help make regulations in the film industry? What is the CMO doing now? What is happening with that? No rush eh, it’s only been five and half years since the report was submitted,’ she said.

The police decided to close the case as the survivors are not willing to proceed further. The special investigation team had registered 35 cases. 21 were dropped earlier. The remaining 14 will be closed and the report will be submitted to the courts this month itself.

Following the attack on an actress in Kochi, the state government appointed a committee headed by Justice Hema to study the issues faced by women in the film industry. The Hema Committee submitted its report directly to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on December 31, 2019. The Hema Committee released its report last year. It was 233 pages long. The reports were made public without personal details.
