Kochi, Feb 21: The search operations to nab the two accused involved in the abduction and harassment of noted South Indian actress Bhavana continued for the fourth day today, with police taking into custody one person from Palakkad. Efforts are underway to nab the alleged mastermind Pulsar Suni and another accused V P Vigeesh.
When the bail plea came up for hearing today, the High Court postponed the matter to March 3. Meanwhile, forensic experts have collected evidence from the car in which the actress was harassed by the gang members. So far, three persons--Vadival Salim, Pradeep and Martin--have been arrested in connection with the case, police said.
All the three have been remanded to judicial custody by a magistrate court in Aluva. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who spoke to the actress over phone yesterday, has promised stern action against those responsible for the February 17 incident. The actress was allegedly harassed inside her car for two hours by her tormentors, who had forced their way into the vehicle, before vanishing in a busy area in Kochi.
Meanwhile, police are probing whether people from the film industry were involved in the abduction and rape attempt. Crime Branch IG Dinendra Kashyap, who is overseeing the investigation, said, “The probe will cover all aspects, including the involvement of those from the film industry in the conspiracy. We will also look into whether alleged rivalry in the film industry among the artistes has anything to do with the attack.”
Police sources said that key accused Sunil Kumar alias Pulsor Sunil, who had earlier worked with the actress’s driver, had contacted some people in the industry after the incident. A lookout notice has been issued to nab Sunil, they added.
