On February 17, the actress, while travelling by road to Kochi for work, was held captive in a moving car for nearly two hours while four men molested her and also took photos on their cellphones. She was dumped near the house of a director, who called the police.
Six people, including main accused Pulsar Suni, the driver she had sacked, were arrested.
A hotel that actor Dileep owns in Kochi was attacked and ransacked by angry youth late last evening. As a coincidence, Dileep's last film in 2016 was "Welcome to Central Jail" and people who gathered in front of the jail was heard shouting slogans, "Welcome to Central Jail".
