KOCHI: The woman who lodged a rape complaint against Balachandra Kumar reached Ernakulam Elamarakkara station to give her statement. The complainant is a native of Kannur. She stated in her complaint that Balachandra Kumar had raped her in Kochi, 10 years ago. The case is being investigated by the Thiruvananthapuram high tech cell.

I got Balachandra Kumar’s phone number from a film worker, whom I met at a hotel in Thrissur in December 2011. When I called him seeking job, I was told to be given an opportunity. Soon, I was called to Kochi and was raped at the house of a film lyricist, the woman said in her complaint.

The complainant had alleged that Balachandra Kumar had threatened to circulate the visuals of the rape, if she lodged a complaint with the police. The woman who works as a home nurse refrained from filing a complaint, in fear of the director’s threat. It was after seeing his talks on channels seeking justice for the actress that she decided to go ahead with the complaint.
