Actor-turned-politician M Mukesh will be released since he had secured an anticipatory bail from the sessions court.
CPI(M) MLA M Mukesh has been arrested by the Kerala Police in the latest wave of MeToo cases that swept the Mollywood industry. A former actress had accused the actor-turned-politician of rape, based on which case has been registered against him. He, however, will be released since he had secured an anticipatory bail from the court.
Mukesh has been charged with non-bailable offences including rape and the use of criminal force against women with an intent to outrage her modesty.
There has also been a strong chorus for the MLA to step down, but he remained defiant claiming the allegations followed after he did not give in to her attempts to blackmail him.
