Malayalam actor Nivin Pauly has been given a clean chit by the Special Investigation Team in the rape case filed against him in September. In the inquiry into allegations levelled by the complainant against Nivin, it was established that he was absent from the specified location on the date and time of the purported incident.
A case was filed against him following a complaint by a woman at the Oonnukal police station. Five others were named along with Pauly in the case filed by Kerala police after the complaint from the woman. She alleged that the accused promised her a role in a film and the incident occured in Dubai the previous year.
While Pauly’s name has been removed as the sixth accused in the rape case, investigation continues against the remaining five.
