Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan said on Saturday strict action will be taken against the attackers who allegedly abducted a popular south cinema actor in Kochi and molested her, taking pictures and videos before letting her off.

“It is an unfortunate incident. It should not have been happened. Police are looking into the case seriously and stern action will be taken against those responsible for it,” Vijayan said in Delhi.Kerala police chief Loknath Behra said a special investigation team has been constituted to probe into incident. “A person has already been arrested and we are closing in on others,” he said.

The incident took place when the actor was reportedly returning home from a film shoot. The gang forcibly boarded her car when it stopped near a traffic signal and molested her for almost two hours inside the vehicle, police said. The 30-year-old actress lodged a police complaint later in the night. The actor has worked in more than 75 films in several languages including Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu.
