The survivor of the 2017 actress assault case, which made headlines for its high-profile acquittal of Malayalam actor Dileep, has spoken out about the verdict. In a powerful social media post, she expressed her disappointment and frustration with the trial process, stating that not every citizen in India is treated equally before the law. For the first time, the survivor publicly addressed the trial court's decision, which sentenced six people to 20 years in prison for their roles in the assault, while acquitting Dileep. The survivor, who had been through an eight-year-long ordeal, expressed relief that the six accused were convicted, but criticized the system for not providing her with adequate protection during the trial. She also rejected claims that the prime accused was her personal driver, stating that he was just a driver assigned to a movie she worked on in 2016. The survivor urged people to stop spreading false information about the case. The survivor's statement comes amid growing criticism of the trial process, with many questioning the handling of the case and the acquittal of Dileep. Actress Manju Warrier, who had publicly supported the survivor, reiterated her stance, stating that justice remains incomplete until all those involved in the crime are held accountable. Warrier's comments were met with a sharp response from Dileep, who accused her of being part of a conspiracy to implicate him. However, the survivor stood by her statement, saying that she hopes those who doubted her account will find peace with themselves. The case highlights the ongoing struggle for justice and equality in India, where women and marginalized communities continue to face significant challenges in seeking redress. The survivor's courage in speaking out serves as a reminder of the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity.
