Actress Assault Case: Survivor Shares Emotional Post Amid Cyber Attacks

Thiruvananthapuram: The survivor in the actress assault case has shared an emotional message on social media, condemning the cyber attacks and renewed harassment she has faced after a video circulated by the second accused went viral.

In an Instagram post, she wrote: “Not a victim, not a survivor, just a simple human being. Let me live.”

Beginning the post with the words “Mistake done by me,” the actress explained that her so-called mistake was approaching the police immediately after the assault and pursuing legal remedies.

“Taking it as fate, I should have remained silent, pretending nothing had happened. Later, if the video had surfaced, I should have committed suicide when people questioned why I did not file a complaint with the police,” the post said.

She also referred to an online video released by Martin Antony, the second accused in the case, in which he made remarks against her.

“The video of the second accused, who was sentenced to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment, came to my notice. In that video, he could have even said that it was he who took my videos,” she wrote.

The survivor said that those who make such statements, circulate them online, and encourage such attacks should never have to face a similar situation in their lives.

Police have registered a case against Antony in connection with the video, which was recorded before he was sentenced to imprisonment.

Earlier, after a court acquitted Malayalam actor Dileep, an accused in the case, the survivor had shared a similar emotional post that received widespread public support.
