Bigg Boss Robin fans file case against Jasmine- producer

Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 4 contest Robin's fans have filed police complaint in various police stations in Kerala against contestant Jasmine and producer of Bigg Boss. Complaint says that Robin was attacked with alethal pesticide spray by co- contestant Jasmine with the intention to kill him. Producers Banijay instead of isolating the attacker h5as shifted Robin to a room on a different filmsy pretext. Fans fear for the life of theie idol and sought police protection. Contestant Robin got close to 27 lakh votes as per morning live poll results. This has put pressure on Bigg Boss show producers as they had prima facie declared Robin as offender who used force against another contestant. Jasmine who sprayed the pesticide was let off with a warning.

As the show jurisdiction is in Mumbai and any dispute regarding the show can be heard in Mumbai courts, a court petition was not possible. Fans acting on behest of a former Bigg Boss player is said to have moved the police instead to mount pressure to get Robin back to the game. Yet another compromise formula meted out is that Jasmine should go out if Robin goes. Contention being that both are guilty. As per voting results till noon today, Riyas the contestant who got jostled by Robin is last in the list of nomination list and should go out technically.

Robin- Blesslie- Dilsha - Vinay- Ronson- Kutty Akhil - Riyas are the ranking from top 7. From today onwards, Blesslie started targetting Riyas and make him go berserk and Jasmine was seen coming to his rescue. If Jasmine moves out with Robin, Riyas will face a combined attack from Blesslie aided by Dilsha and probably backed by Ronson. Others are expected  to play a safe game and stay neutral.

Sources say that producers are waiting for host Mohanlal to come to Mumbai and decide on the issue. As Bigg Boss declared publicly that for the first time a contestant was physically  pushed in the history of Bigg Boss Season and act was not condonable, Robin faces eviction. In previous season, Firoz - Sanjana were summarily evicted as they insinuated immoral activities against co- contestant.

Those evicted from the current season got together for a get- together and Nimisha posted it on Instagram.
