Martin Antony, the second accused in the actress assault case, said film directors Lal and Shrikumar Menon were also involved. Antony made the sensational disclosure to mediapersons while he was brought to the principal district and sessions court in Ernakulam on Wednesday.
“I will reveal the truth. Innocent people like me were cheated. Manju received a flat in Mumbai and a chance in Odiyan as rewards for her role. I have more things to disclose. I have full faith in the judiciary and hope to get justice. I have apprised the court on all matters,” Martin said.
Martin, 24, a resident of Koratti, was arrested on February 17, 2017, following the assault on the leading South Indian actress in a moving vehicle near Atthani at Angamali. Her objectional images were shot by a gang which had waylaid her car that was driven by Martin.
The 24-year old was arrested in February last year after the victim in the assault case filed a police case.
Martin, along with Dileep and Pulsar Suni aka Sunil Kumar is accused in the case for assaulting a Malayalam actress. It was found by the police that Martin had been reporting the movements of the actress to Pulsar Suni who along with his associates followed the car in which she was traveling.
Dileep was arrested on July 10, 2017, and after 85 days in jail, he got a conditional bail. With the trial all set to commence shortly, while actor Dileep was given over 700 pieces of evidence in the case, which included pictures and visuals, the video of the alleged molestation was not handed over.
The court had recently asked the prosecution to submit evidence that clearly points to Martin’s role in the crime. The court was considering a bail plea from Martin when it made the demand. The court has asked the prosecution to inform it about the type of documents that could be handed over to the accused.
The latter also has to communicate the grounds for rejecting the same to the accused. Further hearing is scheduled for April 11.
