IT employee beaten up, abducted after scuffle, three arrested; cops say actress Lakshmi Menon 'involved'

Kerala Police are investigating Lakshmi Menon's alleged role in an abduction and assault case involving an IT employee after a dispute escalated between two groups, officials said.

  • Malayalam actor Lakshmi Menon has been named in a kidnapping and assault case in Kochi, and police say she is currently untraceable as efforts to locate her continue.
  • The row began with a bar argument on August 24, 2025, when two rival groups clashed at a restobar on Banerjee Road, Kochi, and police say the abduction was an act of revenge from that quarrel.
  • Around 11.45 pm the complainant's car was intercepted near the Ernakulam North railway overbridge, forcibly dragged out, beaten, and abandoned near the Aluva‑Paravur junction, according to the FIR and police.
  • Police registered the case on Monday and arrested three suspects—Mithun, Aneesh, Sonamol—remanding them to judicial custody; charges cite Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita 2023 sections 140, 126, and 351.
  • The Kerala High Court on Wednesday ordered restraint on Menon's arrest until September 17, while Ernakulam Town police prepare to question her and seek public help locating her.
