No assault evidence against Unni Mukundan, say police in chargesheet
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) 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. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo 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.
