Kerala Actress Assault Case: Appeals Filed
In 2017, a big case happened in Kerala, India, where an actress was assaulted.
Now, three people who were found guilty are asking a higher court to say they are not guilty.
The government is also asking the court to say that four other people, including a famous actor named Dileep, should be found guilty.
At the same time, the police are arresting people who shared a video that showed the victim's identity, which is not allowed.
The police have taken down many websites and pages that shared this video.
Everyone is working to make sure the victim's privacy is protected.
Three convicted accused in the 2017 Kerala actress assault case filed appeals in the High Court to overturn their convictions.
The Kerala government is preparing to appeal the acquittal of actor Dileep and three others.
Police arrested three individuals for circulating a video that revealed the survivor's identity, with more arrests expected.
Over 100 websites and 200 digital platforms have been identified and taken down for sharing the derogatory video.
The High Court has directed the prosecution to file its response to the appeals within four weeks.
