The court will decide the next day on anticipatory bail applications in cases related to sexual offenses. The Ernakulam Principal Sessions Court will decide on the anticipatory bail plea of Mukesh, Ivala Babu and Adv VS Chandrasekaran. At the same time, the special investigation team demanded that the accused should not be granted anticipatory bail. The Special Investigation Team’s argument is that if the actresses have given confidential statements, there is a possibility of influencing the witnesses and obstructing the investigation if anticipatory bail is granted. The prosecution had earlier informed the court that it is necessary to take the accused into custody and conduct trial.
The non-bailable section has been charged against Mukesh. A case was registered by the Maradu police. The statement was recorded the other day.
At the same time, Mukesh said that the sexual harassment complaint against him was politically motivated and part of blackmailing. Mukesh alleged that the allegations leveled against him were false and that the complainant had threatened him for money. After being involved in the rape case, the protest is intensifying demanding that Mukesh should resign from the post of MLA. But CPM is taking the position that Mukesh should not resign. The party is of the view that it is not right to be a member of the committees related to cinema.
