Unni Mukundan files police complaint
According to the report, Unni filed a complaint with the police claiming that he had received death threats. He filed a complaint with the DGP claiming his life and career are under threat. He said that he received a threatening call two weeks ago. He also reportedly stated that he was asked to be ‘vigilant against Vipin’ and that ‘women may try to file false complaints’ against him.
Vipin, on the other hand, refused to back down, standing firm that Unni had verbally and physically assaulted him. He also claimed that the actor had a ‘bad history’ and that he had ‘misbehaved with many people’. According to the publication, he also stated that Unni was wrong in believing there was no footage of the attack and that the police are looking into CCTV footage. Vipin filed a complaint against Unni in FEFKA and AMMA. Both film bodies are trying to resolve the issue.
