THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: In the wake of new charges by film director Balachandrakumar, the survivor in the actor kidnap and sexual assault case has written to chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan and the state police chief seeking reinvestigation in the case.
In the letter, the survivor is said to have pointed out the director’s charges and urged the government to order reinvestigation to bring out the truth. She is also learnt to have expressed concern about the resignation of second special public prosecutor in the case.
Balachandrakumar recently claimed that he saw 'Pulsar' Suni, the prime accused in the case, at the residence of actor Dileep, who is the eighth accused. The director also alleged that he had witnessed Dileep watching the video of the assault with a few others, along with a 'VIP' who had brought the clip to his house. Balachandrakumar had written to the chief minister detailing all these charges and sought an inquiry.
The survivor was abducted and sexually assaulted inside her car by some of the accused who had forced their way into the vehicle on the night of February 17, 2017 and later escaped in a busy area.
The entire act was filmed by some of the accused to blackmail her. There are ten accused in the case and initially, police arrested seven people. Dileep was arrested subsequently and let out on bail after spending nearly three months in jail.
