CPI(M) MLA Mukesh Arrested By SIT In Rape Case, Gets Bail

CPI(M)

The Kerala police on Tuesday arrested CPI(M) MLA M Mukesh in connection to the MeToo cases that stormed the Malayalam film industry.

A former actress had alleged the actor-turned-politician of rape, based on which case has been registered against him. He, however, will be released since he has secured an anticipatory bail from the court.

The CPI (M) MLA has been charged with non-bailable offences, including rape and the use of criminal force against women with an intent to outrage her modesty.

The SIT arrested Mukesh after questioning him earlier in the day. He was granted anticipatory bail by the Ernakulam principal sessions court earlier this month.
