On Wednesday, Malayalam actor Nivin Pauly was legally cleared of involvement in a rape case that was initially filed against him. The Kothamangalam Oonukal police, in charge of the inquiry, submitted a report to the Kothamangalam Judicial First Class Magistrate Court verifying that Pauly was not involved in the claimed crime. This study recommended that his name be removed from the list of accused individuals.
According to the investigation, Nivin was not present at the scene of the alleged occurrence, contradicting the complainant’s statements. Nivin was listed as the sixth accused in the case, however the investigating officer, Ernakulam Rural DySP TM Varghese, found that the evidence did not corroborate the claims.
The case began with a young woman in Kothamangalam who claimed she was gang-raped by six people, including Pauly, under the guise of being offered a film job. These allegations came following the publishing of the Hema Committee Report, which exposed exploitation in the business.
Following the court judgment, Nivin Pauly expressed his thanks on Instagram, thanking everyone who helped him and acknowledged their love, prayers, and encouragement throughout the process.
