Actress Bhavana was sexually assaulted in a moving car while she was on her way to Kochi from her house in Thrissur. After hitting her vehicle from behind at Athani, The Gang Members forcefully entered the car and molested her. They even clicked semi-nude pictures and made a video before escaping.
Shocking truth has been revealed by three of the 7-Gang Members during the police interrogation. The Gang plotted the kidnap and sexual assault of Bhavan a month before. Main motive behind it is to blackmail and extort Rs 30 lakh from the Actress.
'Pulsar' Suni, main accused, hired people by offering them share in the extortion bid. Bhavana's Driver Martin Antony was arrested on Saturday itself. Vadival Salim and Pradeep were nabbed in Coimbatore after finding their hideout by tracing their mobiles. Four other accused (Pulsar Suni, Manikandan, Vijeesh and an unidentified person) are yet to be arrested. Cops were investigating if anyone else from the Film Industry was involved in the crime.
A Case under Sections 376 (Rape), 365 (Abduction), 120-B (Criminal Conspiracy), 341 (Wrongful Restraint) and 506 (Criminal Intimidation) of IPC has been booked against the Accused.
