Vineeth is the accused in a sexual abuse case. He had befriended a woman from Kollam, promising to teach her tips to gain public attention on social media, brought her to a lodge and abused her. Vineeth, a native of Vellalloor in Chirayinkeezhu, will be taken into police custody for further investigation on the complaint lodged by a Kollam native. Following which, he will be taken to the lodge for evidence collection. After learning of Vineeth's arrest, some victims of financial fraud had also approached the police.

Vineeth had befriended the Kollam native via Instagram. Later, he called the girl via video call and captured her naked visuals. He invited the girl to accompany him to buy a new car. Later, he took her to a lodge in Thampanoor and abused her. Evidence of his chats were retrieved by the police. The police will also check whether Vineeth had threatened the women by using such visuals. He is unemployed, but told some people that he was in police service and others that he worked in a private channel. There are theft and assault cases against Vineeth at the cantonment station and Kilimanoor. The case is being investigated by circle inspector Prakash and team under the leadership of Shaji, Fort assistant commissioner.
