There, the fifth and sixth accused persons joined the abduction team. They diverted their route and entered a house with a grilled gate. From there the prime accused Pulsar Suni, whose real name is Sunil Kumar, entered the scene with a towel covering his face and took over the driver’s seat. Martin, who had driven the car till then, left the gang and moved into the catering van. Pulsar Suni then drove the car to Kakkanad where he molested her.

Acting at the behest of a third party, Pulsar Suni told her he was entrusted with the task “of shooting her compromising pictures and videos” and wanted the actor to cooperate. After being thrown out of the car, the actor took refuge at the residence of director Lal, who reported the incident to the police.
