Varun Dhawan agreed to his contemporaries and retweeted their comments. The sad news broke out late Friday night about a leading Malayalam actress being molested and photographed in a moving car for two hours near Kochi. The popular female actor was abducted for a while on her way from Thrissur to Kochi by some people, who reportedly took pictures of her for blackmailing, police said on Saturday (February 18).
Her former driver is a suspect in the case and has been taken into custody, police said. While the victim’s statement has now been recorded before a magistrate, the police probe team has zeroed down on six others who were in the gang, of which three have been already identified, while three others are yet to be known.
The actress is a popular face in the south Indian film industry as she has acted in Malayalam, Tamil and Kannada movies. According to reports, even though the actor has not alleged rape, the accused will face charges under Sections 366 (kidnapping), 376 (rape) of IPC and Section 66 of the IT Act.
Mollywood superstars Mammootty, Mohanlal, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Manju Warrier and many others have expressed their remorse on the issue.
