Directions have been issued from the CM’s office to the police to register a case and open an extensive investigation, an official said.Antony, the second accused in the case, was among six persons found guilty by the Ernakulam Principal Sessions Court last week for charges including gangrape, wrongful confinement and conspiracy. All six persons, including the first accused ‘Pulsar’ Suni, were sentenced to 20 years rigorous imprisonment by the court. Dileep, who was the eighth accused in the case and facing allegations of orchestrating the attack as part of a personal grudge against the actress, was acquitted due to lack of evidence for conspiracy.Police officials said that the video, in which Antony could be heard saying the survivor’s name and talking about the case, was old and purportedly shot when he got out on bail on the directions of the Supreme Court.
