Headline: Actress Assault Case: Manju Warrier’s Statement Called for Justice at AMMA Meeting
Kochi: A special meeting of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) was held on February 17, 2017, at the Ernakulam Darbar Hall grounds to express solidarity with an actress who was brutally attacked in Kochi. The incident, unprecedented in Malayalam cinema, drew condemnation from across the industry.
The meeting was attended by prominent figures including then AMMA President Innocent, Mammootty, and Dileep. Actress Manju Warrier made a noteworthy statement during the meeting that shocked the audience. Speaking in the presence of Dileep and others, Warrier asserted that there was a criminal conspiracy behind the attack and demanded that the perpetrators be brought to justice.
“No girl should ever have to face such a situation,” Warrier stated, acknowledging that many drivers had ensured the safety of actresses, including herself, even late at night. She urged the industry to support the investigation and ensure that those responsible were held accountable. Warrier emphasized the importance of reciprocal respect between men and women.
Dileep claims that this statement was the beginning of the conspiracy against him. Manju Warrier was the main witness in the case. Her statement has not yet been released. It will be clear what Manju said in court only after receiving a copy of the court verdict.
Within days of the incident, police arrested all the accused who were directly involved. Dileep was arrested on July 10, 2017, after hours of questioning and was granted conditional bail on October 3.
