The victim, whose post was shared on social media by a number of celebrities from the Malayalam film industry, said, "This has not been an easy journey. The journey from being a victim to becoming a survivor.

 

"For five years now, my name and my identity have been suppressed under the weight of the assault inflicted on me.

 

"Though I am not the one who has committed the crime, there have been many attempts to humiliate, silence and isolate me. But at such times, I have had some who stepped forward to keep my voice alive. Now, when I hear so many voices speak up for me, I know that I am not alone in this fight for justice.

 

"To see justice prevail, to get wrongedoers punished and to ensure no one else goes through such an ordeal again, I shall continue this journey. For all those who are standing with me - a heartfelt thank you for your love."

 

Meanwhile, on Sunday, the Kerala police registered a fresh non-bailable case against Malayalam actor Dileep.
