Kerala HC Dismisses Abduction Case Against Actress Lakshmi Menon
Imagine someone accused an actress named Lakshmi of kidnapping them after an argument.
The actress and the accuser apparently talked it out and decided to be friends again.
Because they made up, a big court in Kerala decided that the kidnapping case wasn't needed anymore.
The court said the case could be closed.
This happened after the accuser told the court they were okay now.
So, the actress doesn't have to worry about that case anymore.
The Kerala High Court dismissed an alleged abduction case against actress Lakshmi Menon and co-accused on November 7.
The case was related to an alleged assault and abduction of an IT professional in August.
The complainant had alleged that Lakshmi Menon and her friends intercepted his car and assaulted him.
The High Court quashed the FIR and all further proceedings after noting the dispute was settled.
An affidavit was reportedly submitted indicating an amicable resolution between the parties involved.
