In a shocking turn of events, a sexual assault case has been lodged against renowned Malayalam actor Nivin Pauly on Tuesday, sending shockwaves through the entertainment industry. The alleged incident, which took place in 2023, has left many reeling in disbelief.
According to the media reports, the complaint filed by the victim, a resident of Neryamangalam, claimed that Nivin Pauly allegedly sexually assaulted her in a foreign location under the false pretence of offering her a role in a movie. The woman claimed that she was introduced to Pauly by a female acquaintance, who is also implicated in the case.
The complaint named a total of six individuals, including Nivin Pauly, the female friend who introduced them, and four other persons believed to be involved in the alleged incident. The details of the case are still emerging, and the investigation is under process.
This development has sparked widespread concern and outrage, with many calling for a thorough investigation and appropriate action against those responsible.

As the news sends shockwaves through the entertainment sector, the report's findings have ignited a long-overdue conversation about the pervasive culture of silence, complicity, and victim-blaming that has enabled such egregious behaviour to persist.
