No assault evidence against Unni Mukundan, say police in chargesheet
A major development has happened in the
Unni Mukundan
- Vipin Kumar row as the Kerala police have reportedly filed a charge sheet saying that there is no assault evidence against actor Unni Mukundan.
Assault took place, but not a violent attack
According to On Manorama, as per the chargesheet filed by Infopark police, the altercation that took place in a Kochi apartment parking lot did not constitute a violent attack.
According to police findings, the confrontation between Unni Mukundan and Vipin turned into a minor scuffle during which Vipin's spectacles fell and broke. While the exchange may have caused superficial bruises, investigators ruled out any intent to cause injury.
CCTV footage from the area reportedly did not show any aggressive physical act. Also, the statements from both parties were taken into account.
From allegation to investigation
The complaint, originally filed by Vipin Kumar, alleged that the actor lured him into a deserted corner of the parking area and assaulted him — pushing, kicking, and verbally abusing him.
Unni Mukundan's fun time with his 'BFFs'
Vipin claimed the confrontation stemmed from a social media post he had made praising actor Tovino Thomas's film 'Narivetta', released around the same time Unni's own film struggled at the box office.

Vipin also stated that the attack left him needing medical attention and that he had escalated the matter to the Film Employees Federation of Kerala (FEFKA).
Unni Mukundan, however, denied all charges of physical violence. In his statement, he acknowledged an emotionally charged confrontation and admitted to throwing a mirror out of frustration, but firmly rejected the idea that he had physically attacked his former manager.
He also dismissed the theory that the row was triggered by professional jealousy, calling the complaint 'false and vindictive.'
Surrounding speculation continues
Although the chargesheet clears the actor of the assault accusation, the episode has reignited scrutiny around those claiming to represent him. The controversy continues to draw attention on social media, particularly as it involves two names previously associated professionally.
Meanwhile, it was recently that the 'Marco' actor warned his fans regarding his Instagram account getting hacked, which was later recovered.

Orphaned By Maoists, They Vow To Dismantle Red Infra
Nagpur: In 2012, Maoists killed Suresh Alam, a former gram panchayat member in Nandigaon, Gadchiroli, suspecting him of being a police informer. His daughter, Naame Nagamani Alam, has now been directly appointed as a police constable. In 2005, a village warden Lalsu Pungati was lynched in a guerrilla kangaroo court in Nargunda, Gadchiroli. His son, Sainath Pungati, was directly appointed as a police constable. Both received their job letters from chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on July 22. The ceremony marked a significant step in rehabilitation of families affected by Maoist atrocities. So far, 56 victims have been recruited into the police force in three years. Once helpless and cringing under fear after Maoists dragged their fathers out of their homes and slaughtered them in public, these orphans of insurgency have transformed their grief into resolve. Years passed, and the fear diminished as law enforcement turned the tables on the guerrillas. "We witnessed our father's killing. His lifeless body and my inconsolable mother are still fresh in our memory. We will serve the police with sincerity and combat Maoists," said an appointee. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Is What First-Class Living Really Looks Like Explore Undo The Maharashtra govt has now stepped in and is offering an opportunity to those who bore the brunt of Maoist kangaroo courts. Their children are now joining the commando force, determined to dismantle the regime that abruptly snatched their fathers' protective care. "The recruitments are based on special relaxations for Scheduled Tribe categories, requiring only physical attributes and a minimum qualification of Class 7, with no written examinations," SP Gadchiroli, Neelotpal, said. These appointments are part of a 2018 govt decision to rehabilitate Maoist-hit families by offering direct appointments to Group C and D posts in various departments. Fadnavis, who also virtually inaugurated new administrative buildings for police posts at Dechalipetha and Jimlagatta hamlets, stated the govt is keen to rehabilitate families who suffered in the hands of Maoists. The appointment of Naame Nagamani and Sainath by the CM himself symbolizes a powerful shift, stated IG State Anti-naxal operation cell, Sandip Patil. Once victims of Maoist terror, they are now empowered to protect their communities, vowing to end the menace that shattered their families.

Body in canal: Autopsy reveals 14-yr-old boy sexually assaulted, filmed, stabbed 24 times; three minors held
New Delhi: Weeks after a 14-year-old boy was murdered and his body discovered in the Munak Canal, the post-mortem report revealed that he had been sexually assaulted. Police had hauled up six people earlier, including two adults, and have now apprehended three more minors from a kanwar camp. According to police, the motive for the murder was the suspicion that the teen was passing on information to two antisocials, one of whom had beaten up the prime accused earlier. The entire incident was recorded on a phone by the accused, who then stabbed the boy 24 times before throwing his body into the canal. "We have apprehended three more minors who were found hiding in a kanwar camp in Meerut," a senior police officer said, adding that a team of nine policemen had disguised themselves as kanwariyas to nab the three minors. The phone in which the horrific act was recorded was also recovered from them.

Using local intelligence and technical surveillance, the investigators zeroed in on the suspects — two brothers from the same locality as the victim, who had a long-standing enmity with the boy. "The accused, Krishna, 19, and his brother Sumit, 27, allegedly suspected that the minor boy and his friends acted as informers for the Badhawar brothers, who are notorious bootleggers who had thrashed Krishna in public last year," said Hareshwar V Swami, DCP (Outer North). "The Badhawar brothers, Monu and Sonu, are currently in jail under MCOCA in another case at the same police station." The DCP added, "Plotting revenge for months, Krishna, his brother and other friends executed the plan on the intervening night of June 29-30. They abducted the juvenile from near Veer Chowk Bazar, assaulted him and took him on a motorcycle to the Munak Canal." On reaching the canal, the group gagged the boy's mouth with a gamcha, stripped him naked, dumped his clothes into the water and began beating him. In a gruesome sequence, the accused took turns stabbing the boy several times. After ensuring he was dead, they threw his body into the water and fled the scene, the officer said. The motorcycle used in the crime has been recovered.

Mandals can register till July 31 for Khasdar Sanskritik Ganesh Utsav
1 2 Nagpur: What started as a small cultural experiment in 2021 has now turned into one of Nagpur's most successful community-driven initiatives that blends devotional celebration with rich cultural expression. The Khasdar Sanskritik Mahotsav Samiti has appealed to Ganesh mandals across Nagpur to register for the Sanskritik Ganesh Utsav. In its fourth year, the Sanskritik Ganesh Utsav has grown exponentially — from just 55 mandals and 350 artists in 2021 to over 300 mandals and 2,000 artists participating in 2024. Ganesh mandals have been asked to register by July 31, while cultural groups and artists will register by August 5. Registration can be done by visiting Nitin Gadkari's Public Relations Office, at Savarkar Nagar, opposite Orange City Hospital, Khamla Chowk between 12 noon and 3pm. "Earlier, many Ganeshotsav celebrations were mere pomp and show. This platform brings back art, literature, and thought-provoking performances into pandals, benefiting local and folk artists who suffered due to Covid," said Jayprakash Gupta, secretary of Khasdar Sanskritik Mahotsav Samiti. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Remember Him?
