The Hindu
K.S.N. Rajesh remained at large ever since his law intern complained on October 18
Two months after he went absconding following a complaint of sexual harassment meted out to a law intern at his office, advocate K.S.N. Rajesh on Monday surrendered before a magistrate court here. He was remanded in judicial custody by the court.
He is said to have arrived on an ambulance and presented himself before the III Judicial Magistrate First Class Court. Rajesh’s regular bail application is expected to be heard by the court on Tuesday.
Police Commissioner N. Shashi Kumar told reporters here that the police will seek his police custody when the bail application comes up for hearing. Besides investigation of the charge of sexual harassment, allegations of obtaining signatures on documents and thumb impressions made by the victim too need to be probed into, he said.
