THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The police will register cases against a bunch of social media news portals and people including activists on the charges of cyber stalking and online bullying of a Kochi-based actor, who had raised allegation that a young politician -- presumably Palakkad MLA Rahul Mamkootathil -- had misbehaved with her. Actor Rini Ann George had filed a complaint with the chief minister and the state police chief alleging that she was constantly being subjected to cyber attack after revealing that the youth leader had sent her inappropriate messages and invited her to a hotel room. Though she did not name the culprit, it was speculated that Rahul was the person under scanner. After her revelation, Rahul stepped down as Youth Congress state president.
