Mathu Vadalara Actress Arrested in Honey Trap Case

Malayalam actress Athulya Chandra who is well known to Telugu audiences through the film Mathu Vadalara has landed in a major controversy. Police have arrested her in connection with an alleged honey trap and extortion case in Ernakulam, Kerala.

According to reports, the actress and her associates allegedly targeted a doctor and demanded Rs. 6 crore from him. The police arrested Athulya Chandra along with two other people while investigating the case.

The case took an unexpected turn after the doctor filed a complaint against the actress and her associates. Initially Athulya had filed a complaint against Dr Johnson J Varghese. But the doctor later approached the police with a separate complaint. His allegations changed the direction of the investigation.

According to the police investigation, the accused allegedly called the doctor to an apartment by saying that a family member needed medical attention. The doctor already knew Athulya, so he reportedly trusted the request and visited the apartment.

But the situation allegedly turned serious after he reached the location. Reports claim that Athulya, actor Bibin and around 12 other people locked the doctor inside a room and took away his two mobile phones and demanded Rs 6 crore.

The group allegedly threatened to release private videos if the doctor refused to pay the money. The doctor also claimed that the accused physically attacked him and planned to kill him.

Police are investigating both complaints and examining the allegations made by both sides.

Athulya Chandra is a familiar face in Malayalam cinema. She made her acting debut in 2019 with Mammootty’s Gangadharan. Later, she appeared in films such as Dice Era, Innale Vere and Uyir. Telugu audiences also know her through the popular film Mathu Vadalara. She is currently associated with the upcoming Telugu film Maruva Tarama.
