Malayalam actor Vijay Babu dismisses allegation on sexual assault

Malayalam actor Vijay Babu has refuted all allegations of sexual assault and said he would file a defamation case against the complainant.

Kochi: After being accused of sexual assault by an actor, Malayam actor Vijay Babu dismissed the allegations, saying that he had not done anything wrong. He even said he will file a defamation case and “won’t let her get away that easily”.

“I haven’t done anything wrong. I’m the victim. The law of this country protects her and she is at ease while I’m the one who is suffering,” he said on a Facebook live.

“I will file a defamation case. I won’t let her get away that easily. I can share all the proof I have, but I won’t because I don’t want to cause damage to her family. I’m answerable only to my wife, mother, sister and friends. And I don’t want this to end with a piece of small news saying, ‘Vijay Babu found not guilty’,” he added.

Elaboration on the allegations, he said, “She came for an audition and got her role. All these talks about casting couch and all… it is I who is suffering.”

“She started sending messages saying she was depressed. From December till March 2021. I have all her messages, and over 400 screenshots. Whatever allegations she may have, rape or consensual, I have all on record.”
