Kochi: Renowned dubbing artist Bhagyalakshmi has resigned from the Film Employees Federation of Kerala (FEFKA) in protest against the organisation’s move to reinstate actor Dileep following his acquittal in the actress assault case . Announcing her decision on Tuesday, Bhagyalakshmi said she would no longer be part of any film industry organisation or association.

The development comes after FEFKA general secretary B Unnikrishnan publicly stated that the Directors’ Union would take a final decision on Dileep’s reinstatement and that FEFKA would examine the circumstances that led to the verdict. His comments added fuel to the growing controversy within the Malayalam film industry.
