Overview

  • The Kakkanad Judicial First Class Magistrate Court directed Unni Mukundan to appear in person on October 27 in a case filed by former PR manager Vipin Kumar.
  • The complaint alleges physical assault, verbal abuse, life threats and damage to property following a social-media post praising a Tovino Thomas film.
  • Police filed a chargesheet citing IPC sections 115(2), 126(2), 296(B), 351(2) and 324(4), supported by roughly 10 minutes of CCTV footage, witness statements and mobile-tower data.
  • Investigators say reports suggesting a lack of evidence were incorrect, with the collected materials submitted to the court.
  • The offences are bailable; a district court earlier disposed of Mukundan’s anticipatory bail plea, and he denies physical assault as industry bodies decline to intervene and urge legal process.
