Survivor in 2017 actress assault case makes 1st statement after Dileep’s acquittal; says she lost faith in trial court

The actress who faced the abduction and assault in 2017 began her note by writing how she waited ‘8 years, 9 months, and 23 days’ for justice at the end of a ‘painful journey’. “Six of the accused have been convicted, and for that I am grateful!” she wrote. She also wrote that she ‘dedicates’ this moment to those who called her assault a ‘made-up story’.

She then also clarified that one of the accused was not her personal driver, but someone randomly assigned to her during film shoots. Stating that she first met him in 2016, she added, “Ironically, I met him only once or twice during that time, and never again, until this crime happened! Please stop spreading false stories.”

The actress also mentioned that while the verdict in her case might ‘surprise many people’, it did not surprise her because, as early as 2020, she had noticed that ‘something was not right’. “Even the prosecution noticed changes in the way the case was being handled, especially when it came to one particular accused,” she claimed.
