Women in Kerala - Malayalam dubbing artiste Bhagyalakshmi, Big Boss contestants Sreelakshmi Arackal and trans activist Diya Sana - took on a man who allegedly put out a derogatory video on feminists in Kerala. This video has since gone viral and shows the women slapping the man in question and putting black ink on him. The man allegedly put out a video titled "Why do feminists in India, especially Kerala, not wear underwear?"

The women landed up in his house in Thiruvananthapuram to question him for putting out a video and then slapped him for doing so. The group of women led by Bhagyalakshmi reportedly barged into the room of Vijay P Nair in Thiruvananthapuram and attacked him while going live on Facebook with the same. The women forced Nair to apologise to them as per the video.

As per one report, Bhagyalakshmi and others also took away the laptop and other gadgets used by Nair for uploading the content. And when they took it to the police they didn't accept it.

Since the incident there have been reports that a case will be filed against Bhagyalakshmi however she had said, "I will go to jail proudly if arrested for assaulting Vijay Nair."

Journalist MK Nidheesh tweeted, "Three women in Kerala are done with being polite. Ystdy, they barged into a lodge from where a man was posting vids like "do feminists wear underwear"& punched him." He added, that the women had filed official complaints before.

The women had reportedly lodged a complaint to at least four state organs— Women's Commission, Police Cyber Cell, Women & Child Development Department and Gender Advisor— yielding to no actions. Ystdy, they got the man to apologise and "seized" his laptop and mobile phone.
