New case against actor rape case convict

The State police have reportedly registered a second case against the 2017 actor rape case convict Martin Antony. 

Officials said Mr. Antony had allegedly revealed the identity of the victim on social media, prompting her to complain to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. 

The police are yet to make the FIR available in the public domain. 

A District Sessions Court in Ernakulam had sentenced Mr. Martin to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment for abducting and sexually assaulting the actor and capturing her ordeal on mobile phones. The other accused in the case are ‘Pulsar’ Suni, Manikantan, Vijeesh, V.P. Salim and Pradeep. The court acquitted actor Dileep of conspiracy charges in the case.
