Kochi, Aug 30: In a startling development, Pulsar Suni, the prime accused in the Malayalam actor abduction case has claimed that the mysterious 'Madam' is Kavya Madhavan, actor Dileep's wife.

Dileep is currently in judicial custody as he stands accused of being the mastermind behind the assault and abduction of a prominent woman actor on February 17 this year.

Pulsar Suni, who has been refusing to divulge the identity of the 'Madam' who is believed to have given instructions to the accused and tried to procure bail for Suni, made the revelation to the media while he was being taken to the Ernakulam Additional Sessions Court.

"Kavya. I have said the name Kavya before. I am a thief, why are you listening to the confessions of a thief?" he asked the media when he was questioned about 'Madam'.

Though Pulsar Suni claims that he has revealed this information earlier, it is for the first time that the media is hearing of it. He'd earlier concealed the identity of the person and had also said that she did not have a big role to play in the crime. He did, however, say that 'Madam' used to give him money. However, he changed his tone today and claimed that Kavya was madam and he had revealed it before.

During the course of the investigation which has shaken up Kerala, the alleged involvement of a 'Madam' had repeatedly surfaced.

The accused had allegedly told police that they had been taking instructions from a 'Madam'.

When the police questioned advocate Pheney Balakrishnan who claimed that two persons had approached him for securing bail for Suni, the lawyer told the police that the two men had referred to one 'Madam'.

Although Pulsar Suni had earlier told reporters that he would soon divulge more on the identity of this 'Madam', the police had been unable to find any leads.

Though Dileep had initially claimed that he did not know Pulsar Suni, it was later proved by police that the two did know each other. According to reports, Kavya has told the police that Suni was her driver and in one occasion she had handed over money from Dileep to him.

The office of Lakshyah, Kavya Madhavan's online boutique, was raided by the police towards the end of June on the suspicion that the pendrive containing the visuals of the actor's assault had been handed over to someone at the office.

Pulsar Suni had mentioned visiting a shop in Kakkanad in a letter allegedly sent to Dileep. However, although the police conducted the raid at the Lakshyah office in Kakkanad, they were unable to recover the pendrive.

Indore, Jun 6: An FIR has been registered against television producer Ekta Kapoor and two others here in Madhya Pradesh on charges of spreading obscenity, hurting religious feelings, and improper use of national emblems in her web show 'Triple X season 2', police said on Saturday.

The FIR also mentions about a particular scene which allegedly portrays the Indian Army's uniform in a highly objectionable way, an officer said.

Besides Kapoor, the FIR names director of the web series Pankhudi Rodrigues and screenwriter Jessica Khurana, said Annapurna police station inspector Satish Kumar Dwivedi.

The complaint was lodged on Friday night by Valmik Sakaragaye and Neeraj Yagnik, both residents of Indore.

"Ekta Kapoor's OTT platform ALTBalaji streamed (erotic) web series 'Triple X season 2' which not only spread obscenity but also hurt religious feelings of a particular community," Dwivedi said quoting the complaint.

A scene in the web show portrayed the Indian Army's uniform in a highly objectionable manner and also disrespected the national emblems, he said.

Kapoor and others have been booked under sections 294 (obscene acts and songs) and 298 (Uttering, words, etc., with deliberate intent to wound the religious feelings of any person) of the Indian Penal Code, Information Technology (IT) Act, and the State Emblem of India (Prohibition of Improper Use) Act, 2005, Dwivedi said.

Mumbai-based Ekta Kapoor is the founder of ALTBalaji, which is owned by her production house, Balaji Telefilms.

Further investigation is underway, the police officer said.

Mumbai, Jan 12: Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Sunday came out in support of actor Deepika Padukone, who is facing flak from the BJP and some other quarters over her visit to the JNU campus in Delhi to express solidarity with students who were recently attacked by armed assailants.

Raut, who is a Rajya Sabha member and the executive editor of Shiv Sena mouthpiece 'Saamana', said the country cannot be run in a "Talibani" style.

After Padukone's visit to the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on Tuesday, many appreciated her "silent solidarity", but some others criticised her for "supporting Leftists", saying it was a promotional stunt for her latest film "Chhapaak".

Some also demanded a boycott of her film, based on the life of an acid attack survivor, played by Padukone.

A section of BJP leaders also criticised the 34-year- old actor over her JNU visit.

Talking to PTI, Raut said, "The demand for boycott of the actress and her film is wrong. The country cannot be run in a 'Talibani' style."

"Chhapaak", directed by Meghna Gulzar, hit the theatres on Friday.

Declaring a movie tax-free means the state has waived the entertainment levy imposed on it, thereby bringing down the ticket rates and encouraging more people to watch it.
