Martin appeals his 20-year sentence, citing lack of evidence and inconsistent rulings in the 2017 Kerala actress assault case.
Martin, one of six men convicted in the 2017 Kerala actress assault case, has appealed his 20-year sentence to the Kerala High Court, arguing the trial court failed to properly evaluate evidence of his non-involvement.
He contends the prosecution did not prove a criminal conspiracy, notes the trial court acknowledged this lack of evidence, and highlights that another accused with similar charges was acquitted, raising concerns about inconsistent rulings.
Martin denies being present at the scene or involved in the assault, claiming his alleged role was based on unproven conspiracy.
He also argues key written witness statements were not properly considered.
The case stems from the abduction and alleged assault of the actress during a 2017 trip from Thrissur to Ernakulam, which was reportedly filmed in a moving vehicle.
Actor Dileep and three others were acquitted in December 2023, while six others, including Martin, were sentenced.
The victim expressed disappointment with the outcome.
