Sreejith Panicker came to the fore praising actor Nivin Pauly. The Supreme Court and various high courts have observed many times that ours is a state where even fake POCSO cases are reported. Sreejith wrote on Facebook that he congratulates Nivin Pauly for his courage to prove his innocence before the investigation team.

His words
There is a bulwark often used by feminists-that no woman will ever lie about being abused. However, the accusation faced by Nivin Pauly proves that it cannot be accepted as a general principle nowadays. A man also has dignity.

It should not be forgotten that the Supreme Court and various high courts have observed many times that ours is a state where even fake POCSO cases are reported. Kudos to Nivin Pauly for bravely proving his innocence before the investigation team.

The police submitted a report in the Kothamangalam First Class Magistrate Court yesterday acquitting Nivin Pauly in the case of abusing a woman by promising her a chance in a film. His name was dropped from the list of accused in the sexual assault case registered. He was acquitted after proved that he was not present in the place mentioned in the complaint. The police had examined his phone, passport and credit card transactions. It was clear that Nivin Pauly was in a shooting location in Kerala.

The Kothamangalam Oonukal police registered a case against six people including Nivin on the complaint of a native of Neriyamangalam working in Dubai. The first accused is a woman named Shreya who took the complainant to Dubai. Nivin Pauly's friend and producer Thrissur native A K Sunil, Basheer, Kuttan and Binu are the other accused. Investigation against them will continue.

The complaint to the rural police chief filed in November last year said that she was called to Dubai and abused. After preliminary investigation, the case was handed over to Oonukal police. The case was taken over by a special investigation team led by DIG Ajitha Beegum. On the day of filing the case, Nivin Pauly had told media that he had never met, called or messaged the woman.
