Actress Bhavana was reportedly kidnapped and molested when she was returning home from a shoot yesterday night at Ernakulam in Kerala.

The incident took place at around 10.30 pm when the accused stopped and hijacked Bhavana’s car near Athani in Angamaly. The actress was molested in a moving car till they reached Palarivattom, which is roughly 25 kms away. The accused men got down at Palarivattom and fled in another car.

“For about one hour she was in the car with them and they kept driving and later she was dropped near the place where she lived,” sources said. The gang reportedly also took video and photos of the actress.

Bhavana’s former driver Martin has been arrested while the co-accused Sunil is absconding.  

Investigations have revealed that both Martin and Sunil used to work for her as drivers.

Police have registered a case of kidnapping and molestation.
