Thiruvananthapuram: In a startling revelation, P.T. Thomas MLA on Wednesday said Sunil Kumar, aka Pulsar Suni, the prime accused in the actress attack case, is part of a human trafficking racket.
The Thrikkakara MLA told reporters here that Suni had traveled abroad on a fake passport and that he had indulged in human trafficking during the period. Thomas said the information was passed on to him by a reliable source and that he has filed a complaint with the chief minister seeking a probe into it.
"It should be probed who all did he use for trafficking. An investigation should also be conducted about Suni's passport and foreign trips. Then only the police will be able to find evidences that strengthen the ongoing probe into the actress attack case," he said.
Suni launched similar attacks earlier?
He also wanted the state government to investigate allegations that Suni had assaulted some other actresses also in the same manner before.
"I have asked in my letter to the CM that he should order a detailed probe into past deeds of Sunil. In reply to my speech in the assembly on this issue on Monday, he (CM Pinarayi Vijayan) said that when the Congress ruled the state, a kidnap of an actress took place, but no action was taken. I want him to probe that incident too and also about the close associates of Sunil," Thomas said.
Thomas, along with some other Congress leaders, had earlier alleged that the government is shielding the culprits. The MLA said he would divulge more details regarding the case in the coming days, after considering chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan's stance towards his allegations.
Suni and his accomplice Vigeesh were arrested by the police last week from the premises of the High Court complex in Kochi.
The actress, who has starred in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada films besides Malayalam, was allegedly abducted and molested inside her car by a group of men on the night of February 17 near Kochi.
Six persons, including prime accused 'Pulsar' Suni and his five accomplices, had been arrested in connection with the incident that created an uproar.
