Actor Lakshmi Menon, who has worked in Malayalam and Tamil movies, has been named in an alleged kidnapping of an IT employee in Kerala's Kochi, media reports said.

The complainant alleged that the techie was kidnapped and assaulted by Menon and her friends near the Ernakulam North Bridge following a dispute at a bar.

Several video clips show a group of people, including the 27-year-old actor, blocking the victim's car and having what seems like a heated argument with him.

According to the police complaint, the accused dragged the man out of his car, forced him into another vehicle before speeding away.

The police have arrested three suspects - identified as Mithun, Aneesh, and Sonamol.

Menon's group has also lodged a counter-complaint.

Lakshmi Menon, who has been named as the third accused, is currently on the run as police are searching for her.

Menon debuted in a supporting role in Malayalam cinema in 2011 with the movie 'Raghavinte Swantham Raziya'.  She debuted as the lead actor in the Tamil movie 'Sundara Pandian' in 2012.
