Actor Nivin Pauly and five others have been charged by Kerala Police for rape and related crimes. The charges stem from a complaint by a survivor who alleged that the accused promised her a role in a film. Pauly has denied the allegations, calling them baseless.

Key Takeaways

  • Actor Nivin Pauly and five others have been charged with rape and related crimes by Kerala Police.
  • The charges are based on a complaint by a survivor who alleged that the accused promised her a film role.
  • Pauly has denied the allegations, calling them baseless.

Details of the Case

The case was registered at Oonnukal police station based on the survivor’s statement to the Special Investigation Team (SIT) investigating sexual harassment allegations in the Malayalam film industry. The First Information Report (FIR) was filed under multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including:

Allegations and Denial

The complainant alleged that the accused had promised her a role in a film, and the offense allegedly took place last year. Pauly, however, has denied the allegations, stating on his Instagram account:

"I have come across a false news report accusing me of abusing a girl. Please know that this is entirely untrue. I’m determined to go to any extent to prove these allegations baseless and will take all necessary steps to bring those responsible to light. Thank you for your concern. The rest will be handled legally."
