龙门坎村24位村民紧急转移 转塘街道供图昨天下午2点刚过,西湖区转塘街道龙门坎村,大雨猛地砸下来,风裹着雨,从北、西、南三面的山上往下灌。 In a verdict that brings to a close one of the most closely followed criminal trials in Kerala’s recent history, the Principal District and Sessions Court in Ernakulam on Monday acquitted Malayalam actor Dileep in the 2017 case concerning the abduction and sexual assault of a prominent woman actor. The court, presided over by Judge Honey M Varghese, found that the prosecution had failed to substantiate the allegations against Dileep, who was listed as the eighth accused, and against Charlie Thomas, the seventh accused.However, the court convicted six others, including the prime accused Sunil N S, better known as Pulsar Suni, finding them guilty of multiple serious charges including conspiracy, kidnapping, and gang rape. Sentences for the convicted individuals will be pronounced on December 12.

The six men convicted in the case are Sunil N S alias Pulsar Suni, Martin Antony, Manikandan B, Vijeesh V P, Salim H alias Vadival Salim, and Pradeep. They were found guilty under several sections of the Indian Penal Code, including 120B (criminal conspiracy), 340 (wrongful confinement), 354 (use of criminal force to outrage modesty), 366 (kidnapping), 354B (use of force to disrobe a woman), and 376D (gang rape).The court also found them guilty under relevant sections of the Information Technology Act for filming the sexual assault, an act that added a layer of digital evidence to a case already fraught with emotional and social repercussions.The Sessions Court noted that the evidence presented clearly established the involvement of the first six accused in the crime, while the same could not be said for Dileep and Charlie Thomas. The judge stated that the prosecution was unable to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Dileep had played any role in planning or abetting the crime.
A Case That Shook Kerala’s Film Industry
The incident dates back to February 17, 2017, when the survivor, a well-known Malayalam actor, was abducted while travelling to a film shoot in Thrissur. She was allegedly confined inside a moving vehicle and subjected to sexual assault, with the ordeal recorded by the perpetrators on camera.The case sent shockwaves through Kerala and the wider film industry, not only for the nature of the crime but also for the stature of the accused and the victim. The survivor’s courage in pursuing justice inspired widespread conversations about safety, gender dynamics, and accountability in the entertainment world.The first major breakthrough came the day after the incident, when the police arrested Martin Antony, the driver of the vehicle. Within a week, the alleged mastermind Pulsar Suni was also taken into custody. By the end of that month, four more individuals had been arrested, marking a swift initial phase of the investigation.Suni, the first accused, remained in custody for over seven years before being granted bail by the Supreme Court in 2024. Throughout this period, he consistently maintained that he had acted on someone else’s instructions, though his claims remained mired in contradictions and speculation.
Dileep’s Arrest, Trial, and Acquittal
Dileep’s arrest in July 2017 marked a dramatic turning point in the case. The actor was accused of conspiring to orchestrate the crime as an act of revenge following personal disputes involving his then-wife. His arrest divided public opinion in Kerala, leading to polarised debates and protests across the state.The actor’s first two bail pleas were rejected by the Kerala High Court, citing the gravity of the charges and the need for a thorough investigation. He was eventually granted bail in October 2017 after spending 83 days in judicial custody.The trial officially commenced in 2020 and continued for nearly five years. During the proceedings, more than 200 witnesses were examined, and hundreds of documents were submitted as evidence. Despite the extensive nature of the trial, the court ultimately ruled that the prosecution’s case against Dileep lacked sufficient evidence for conviction.For Dileep, who remains one of Malayalam cinema’s biggest stars, the verdict marks the end of a prolonged legal and public ordeal. The actor had consistently maintained his innocence, claiming he had been falsely implicated.
What Lies Ahead
While the judgment has acquitted Dileep, it does not necessarily bring the legal proceedings to a full stop. The survivor retains the right to appeal the verdict before the Kerala High Court, which could reopen judicial scrutiny into the alleged conspiracy.The case remains a defining chapter in Kerala’s cultural and judicial narrative, one that tested the state’s legal system and its society’s response to crimes against women. As the dust settles, the conversation around justice, gender, and accountability in Malayalam cinema is far from over.Also Read: Dileep’s ‘Prince And Family’ Cleared For Release With A U Certificate。就在这时,村里收到了转移的通知。龙门坎村在转塘街道西面,三面环山,龙门溪穿村而过。村子有一部分正好在小和山流域的地质灾害点上。这种地形,持续暴雨一来,山洪、泥石流随时可能往下冲。

B | 全村2000多人,每次要优先转移的,就是住在高风险区域的那些户。龙门坎村残协委员葛吉萍和同事们开始分头打电话。

C | “老孙,抓紧收拾东西,准备转移。”电话打到孙以勇那儿时,这位72岁的老爷子正跟牌友们在棋牌室。电话一撂,他手一推:“不打了,要转移了。”等他走回家,家里已经利索地收拾好了换洗衣物。孙以勇说:“这样的转移经历了好多回,拎包就能走。

D | 到了安置点,吃的住的都不用自己操心,反正听村里安排就好,为了安全着想嘛。”等葛吉萍她们打完电话,风停了,雨也歇了。

E | 村道上湿漉漉的,工作人员踩着积水的路面,一户一户上门去叫人。“不能因为这会儿雨不下了就不转。”葛吉萍说,“危险还在。”路上,有的村民已经提着包在门口等了;有的还在屋里清点东西,工作人员就帮着一起收拾。这些年,这样的场景在村里上演过很多回,大家心里都有数。下午4点不到,第一辆转移的车驶出了村口。

F | 5点,工作人员完成了最后一户确认:小和山小流域高风险区域的7户22人,加上独居旧房老人2户2人,一共9户24人,一个不落,全部转移。如今,村里重点区域的住户家里装了个报警应答器。紧急情况下,村委通过主机一发信号,村民家里的设备就亮灯响铃,人伸手摸一下就能消警,村委那头同步就知道这家已经收到了。日常工作中,村里也会提前上门通知,确保每一户、每个人都不落下。5点半,第一批转移的村民已经在离村子两公里外的丽呈豪致酒店安顿下来了。孙以勇一家四口吃上了转移后的第一顿热饭。

G | 白灼大虾、烧鸡、茭白肉丝,外加西红柿炒蛋和清炒西葫芦。老爷子扒了一口饭,笑了:“吃得蛮好的,住得也踏实。”龙门坎村党委书记孙大龙说,后面会根据实时雨情和台风路径,视情况继续组织其他区域的人员转移。
