A sexual assault complaint has been filed against actor Nivin Pauly by a woman from Neryamangalam, who said that the former allegedly assaulted her abroad under the pretense of offering a movie role.

The woman initially contacted the Special Investigation Team (SIT), which was established after the Hema Committee report.
In a hurriedly press conference, Nivin denied all the allegations.
Nivin said, "I have come across a false news report accusing me of abusing a girl. This is entirely untrue. That is why I am addressing the press now itself. I have nothing to hide. These allegations are baseless. I guess it's all part of a blackmail plan."
