Nivin Pauly: Innocent Actor Fights Back in Sexual Assault Allegations

Nivin Pauly's Stand Against Sexual Assault Allegations

Nivin Pauly, the popular actor from Kerala, has taken a firm stand by filing a complaint with the State Police Chief (SPC) on Thursday, seeking an in-depth investigation into the recent sexual assault allegations against him. The complaint follows two days after he publicly denied the claims made by a woman accusing him and five others of assault. Pauly pointed out the accusations as "baseless" and highlighted his willingness to fight not just for himself, but also for those facing similar situations.

The Background of the Case

The Oonukal Police registered the initial complaint after it was forwarded by the Ernakulam Rural SP, who took the woman's allegations seriously, especially considering the recent reports of sexual misconduct in the Malayalam film industry.

• Pauly has won two Kerala Film Awards.
• His career spans over 50 films, many of which have become Box Office successes.
• He also initiated his production journey with the hit "Action Hero Biju".

Industry Reaction

These allegations come during a turbulent time in the Malayalam film industry, exacerbated by the Justice Hema Committee report revealing widespread issues of sexual exploitation. Until now, FIRs have been registered against eleven individuals, including other prominent figures in the film industry.
