Honey Trap Arrest: Popular Serial Actress Nithya Sasi's Dark Twist In Real Life

Serial Actress Nithya Sasi's Dark Twist In Real Life: The actress Nithya Sasi, who was arrested by the Paravur police in a honey trap and extortion case, made her acting debut in serials six months ago.

According to reports, Nithya Sasi (41) resides in Amritha, Malayalapuzha, Pathanamthitta. She is a lawyer and an actress in a popular Malayalam serial shown on both television and OTT platforms.

Binu (48), arrested along with Nithya, runs a fish stall at Oonninmoottil on the district border. He resides at Shiva Nandanam, Kalaikode, Paravur. Binu used to visit Nithya's home with fish, leading to their acquaintance and the eventual setup of the honey trap.

The complainant in the honey trap case that led to Nithya and Binu's arrest is a 74-year-old native of Kollam Paravur, living in Pattom, Thiruvananthapuram. He is widowed with no children, and his house in Paravur Kalaikode is rarely visited.

The police will investigate whether the accused have committed similar fraud in the past. Nithya previously worked as a legal assistant on a contract basis for a government organisation called Capex.

Revelations From The Police Investigation

The serial actress and law graduate got in touch with the elderly man when she learned that his house was for sale. The scam began in the last week of May. Nithya visited Kalaikode to see the house and established a friendship through continuous phone conversations. They then threatened and coerced the old man, stripping him of his clothes, while Binu, a relative of the elderly man and a friend of Nithya, captured explicit photographs.

Subsequently, they blackmailed him, demanding money and threatening to spread the pictures on social media. Initially, Rs 6 lakh was given, followed by an additional Rs 5 lakh. However, when they continued to threaten and demand Rs 25 lakh, the victim lodged a complaint with the Paravur police on the 18th.

The police team, led by Paravur Inspector A. Nisar, arrested both Nithya and Binu. They were called to the flat in Pattom under the guise of receiving the rest of the money, as per the police's instructions.

The accused were produced in court and remanded. The investigation team included S. I. Nithin Nalan, senior civil police officers Vijayakumar and Pradeep, and civil police officer Sheeja.
