Up-and-coming South Indian actor Anicka Vikhraman has accused her boyfriend of harassing and abusing her. The actress took to her social media platforms to share pictures of injuries allegedly caused by her boyfriend Anoop Pillai.

But after the second attack, Anicka Vikhraman filed a complaint with the Bengaluru police. However, she claimed that the cops weren’t supportive as Anoop reportedly bribed them. They even asked her to resolve the issue amicably.

In the social media post, she also alleged that Anoop Pillai was snooping into her WhatsApp conversations through his laptop, though they weren’t in a relationship after the second incident.

She said she wasn’t aware of this because they were still friends. However, Anicka Vikhraman later realised that Anoop won’t let her be.

Two days before she was shifting to Hyderabad, he punched her face and left for a party. The actor couldn’t contact anyone as he locked her phone.

Anicka Vikhraman lodged a fresh complaint with the police against Anoop who is absconding and is reportedly in the USA.

She said it took her a month to completely recover from the injuries and added that she is resuming her work.
The actor also clarified that she wrote the post now because she is receiving threatening calls and her family is being degraded.

Meanwhile, the netizens reacted to Anicka’s post by applauding her for mustering the courage and speaking up about the abuse.

Born in Bengaluru, Anicka Vikhraman acted in films like Enga Pattan Sothu (2021), IKK (2021), and Vishamakaran (2022).
