Thiruvananthapuram ∙ The Additional Sessions Court will pronounce judgment on the anticipatory bail plea of Eldos Kunnappilly MLA in the case of molesting a young woman on 20th. The prosecution told the court that the complainant’s life was being threatened by Eldos. The KPCC has to reply to the explanation requested by Eldos within 20 days. The police have received instructions not to rush arrest.
The argument of both sides in the case is over. The prosecution opposed the bail application. The defense lawyer said that Eldos Kunnapilli is a victim of political enmity. It was also alleged that the complaint was fabricated. The prosecution said that apart from Eldos, there are influential accused in the case. Kovalam CI along with some influential people tried to close the case. The prosecution also said that granting bail would threaten the life of the young woman.
The defendant argued that the complainant is the one filing the case against the individuals, focusing on physical, mental and sexual matters. People like this cannot be trusted. 30 lakhs offered to withdraw the case is baseless. The complainant did not claim physical abuse while filing the complaint on 28th of last month. Since then this allegation is part of blackmailing. The complainant is the person who filed a harassment complaint against the CI and SI before the Women’s Commission. The defense said that there are 2 warrants and 10 cases against them as plaintiff and defendant.
Meanwhile, the crime branch team took the woman who lodged a complaint against the MLA to various places for evidence collection. Evidence was collected at places like Kovalam Guest House and Vizhinjam. On 28th of last month, a resident of Petta, a teacher, filed a complaint against Eldos.
