Kerala actor assault case: 20 yrs rigorous jail term to all 6 convicts
The Morning Standard
|December 13, 2025
HOLDING that the 2017 actor abduction and rape case did not warrant the maximum sentence, the Ernakulam Principal Sessions Court on Friday sentenced all six convicts, including Pulsar Suni, to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment (RI) and imposed a fine of ₹50,000 each -- the minimum punishment for gang rape.
The court slapped another 20-year RI and ₹50,000 fine each for the criminal conspiracy carried out to commit the crime. Judge Honey M Varghese stated both the sentences will run concurrently, meaning the convicts will spend only 20 years in prison.
