Two Malayalam actors, Athulya Chandra and Bibin Perumbally, along with Bibin's driver K B Vishnu, were arrested in Kochi for allegedly luring a 41-year-old doctor to a flat on the pretext of an emergency medical call and then robbing him. The doctor, who works at a leading multispeciality hospital, filed a complaint stating he was tied to a chair, threatened, assaulted, and robbed of digital devices worth ₹3.25 lakh. Police sources suggest this was a calculated extortion attempt, allegedly plotted by Athulya Chandra. The case took a twist when a rape case was registered against the doctor based on a complaint by a relative of one of the arrested actors. Police are searching for nine other individuals allegedly involved in the assault.
