The incident occurred on Wednesday during the launch of the film`s song, Sahana Sahana. She was at Hyderabad`s Lulu Mall to promote Raja Saab`s new song when fans broke out to get a glimpse of their favourite actress, breaching past security barricades. The mob-like situation got intense and made her distressed. This was when she was exiting the venue after interacting with the fans. Disturbing visuals and videos from the event have been surfacing on the internet. In one clip, Niddhi can be seen clutching her dupatta tightly while security personnel tried to create a clear path and swiftly escort her to the car amid the chaos. Take a look at the video.

<h3> Chinmayi Sripada slams the fans</h3>
Singer and activist Chinmayi reacted to the viral video and criticised the fans` behaviour. She compared men present there with `a pack of hyenas` and called out the manhandling. She took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, &ldquo;Pack of men behaving worse than hyenas. Actually, why insult hyenas? Put &lsquo;likeminded&rsquo; men together in a mob, and they will harass <a href="/entertainment/news/dileep-names-manju-warrier-first-after-assualt-case-acquittal-why-it-matters-15147" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a woman like this</a>. Why doesn&rsquo;t some god take them all away and put them on a different planet?&rdquo; Her post quickly gained attention and sparked concerns about the safety of celebrities amid huge crowds. The fans` behaviour speaks volumes about crowd mismanagement at such events.

Actress Niddhi Agerwal Mobbed In Hyderabad, Chinmayi Sripada Slams The Crowd

Minutes after walking out of the courtroom in Ernakulam, having been acquitted in the 2017 sexual-assault case, <a href="/entertainment/news/meera-vasudevan-confirms-third-divorce-calls-it-her-most-peaceful-phase-15106" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Malayalam actor</a> Dileep addressed the media &mdash; and his very first words referenced his ex-wife, Manju Warrier. As he stepped into a crowd of cameras and supporters, he declared: &ldquo;It was after Manju&rsquo;s statement that there was a criminal conspiracy in the (actor&rsquo;s sexual assault) case that a conspiracy began against me.&rdquo;
This unsparing opening remark immediately reignited media and public focus on why the ex-wife&rsquo;s comments from 2017 &mdash; delivered during the protests after the assault &mdash; have resurfaced at a moment when Dileep has been legally cleared. By explicitly naming Manju Warrier, Dileep has reframed the narrative from a court verdict to what he claims is a personal vendetta against him. 
<h3>Background: The 2017 Case and Why It Mattered</h3>
On the night of February 17, 2017, a Malayalam actress was allegedly abducted and assaulted by six men while travelling in a car. The assault was recorded on video, leading to widespread outrage. Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="/entertainment/news/malayalam-actor-dileep-acquitted-in-assault-case-after-8-year-trial-15143" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Malayalam Actor Dileep Acquitted In Assault Case After 8-Year Trial</a>
Initially, the crime appeared to be carried out by a group led by a history-sheeted man known as Pulsar Suni. But as the investigation unfolded, suspicion widened: prosecutors claimed the assault was part of a larger conspiracy orchestrated by Dileep. Two outcomes followed: six men &mdash; including Pulsar Suni &mdash; were convicted, but Dileep was acquitted due to lack of conclusive evidence linking him to the conspiracy.
The case had sparked a storm of debates around abuse of power, exploitation of women in the film industry and systemic failures. Critics and supporters alike saw this trial as a watershed moment for Malayalam cinema and the fight for justice within it. 
<h3>Why the Mention of Manju Warrier Matters</h3>
When the assault sparked outrage in 2017, Manju Warrier &mdash; a prominent figure in <a href="/entertainment/news/mollywood-showers-love-on-lalettan-as-mohanlal-celebrates-birthday-14479" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Malayalam cinema</a> and Dileep&rsquo;s then-ex-wife &mdash; had publicly voiced that the crime &ldquo;could be the result of a criminal conspiracy&rdquo; rather than just a random attack. She said, &ldquo;Whoever is behind this criminal conspiracy should be brought to light.&rdquo; At the time, her remarks helped galvanise industry protest and media attention. Years later, Dileep&rsquo;s re-engagement with those words seems intentional: by bringing her name into his first post-verdict remarks, he signals that the fallout from her 2017 statements continued long after the immediate outrage and that the very attention paid to the case &mdash; he alleges &mdash; triggered a chain reaction that targeted him.
This shift affects public memory: instead of merely the court&rsquo;s verdict, the conversation now circles around who ignited the controversy and who benefited or suffered &mdash; making the 2017 statement by Manju Warrier a pivot in the narrative.

Dileep Names Manju Warrier First After Assualt Case Acquittal; Why It Matters?

A dramatic chapter in Kerala&rsquo;s legal and film history came to a close on Monday, as the Ernakulam Principal Sessions Court formally acquitted Dileep in the sensational 2017 assault and abduction case <a href="/entertainment/news/meera-vasudevan-confirms-third-divorce-calls-it-her-most-peaceful-phase-15106" target="_blank" rel="noopener">involving a woman actor</a>. The court concluded that the prosecution failed to prove his involvement in the alleged criminal conspiracy &mdash; bringing relief to a star whose name had dominated headlines for nearly eight years.
Presided over by Judge Honey M Varghese, the court delivered the verdict at 11 a.m. after closely examining evidence and testimonies that stretched across years of investigation and trial.
Dileep, listed as the eighth accused in the case, was cleared of all charges &mdash; including conspiracy, kidnapping, wrongful confinement, disrobing, gang rape, and a host of additional charges under the Indian Penal Code and the IT Act.
However, the court found six of the other accused, including the prime accused, Pulsar Suni (Sunil N S), guilty of multiple offences related to the incident. Sentencing for the six convicted will be pronounced on December 12.
The case revolved around a chilling February 17, 2017 incident when a <a href="/entertainment/news/is-fahadh-faasil-making-his-bollywood-debut-with-triptii-dimri-details-inside-13913" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prominent actress</a> was reportedly abducted while heading for a film shoot in Thrissur. According to prosecution charges, she was forcibly taken into a moving vehicle, assaulted, and the attackers recorded the crime &mdash; an episode that sent shockwaves through Kerala and beyond.
Dileep had been accused of orchestrating the attack, allegedly &ldquo;hiring a gang&rdquo; to carry out the assault. The investigation, arrests, and subsequent trial stretched over years, with the case drawing intense media scrutiny and widespread public debate about power dynamics, justice, and safety in the film industry. 
<h3>Dileep&rsquo;s Reaction &mdash; A Conspiracy, He Said</h3>
Immediately after the verdict, Dileep spoke to media outside the court. &ldquo;This was <a href="/entertainment/news/music-composer-sachin-sanghvi-arrested-for-sexual-assaulting-a-singer-15067" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a fabricated case</a> to destroy my career and image,&rdquo; he said, claiming that a &ldquo;prominent police officer and a gang of criminal police&rdquo; had conspired against him, along with certain media outlets, to spread what he called a &ldquo;fake story.&rdquo;
He expressed gratitude for those who stood by him over the years: &ldquo;I thank all the lawyers and everybody else who helped me&hellip;&rdquo;
For Dileep, the acquittal offers a long-awaited legal exoneration after nearly eight years of uncertainty. For many in the Malayalam film community and beyond, it marks a landmark moment, bringing a controversial case to closure.
