Kochi: The Kerala High Court on Wednesday granted rapper Hirandas Murali, also known as Vedan, anticipatory bail in a rape case, stating that while the charges against him were serious, his custodial interrogation was unnecessary.
Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas granted the relief to the rapper who was accused by a lady doctor of entering into a sexual relationship with her on the promise of marriage and later withdrawing from the same, PTI reported.
She has also accused him of sexually harassing her multiple times between 2021 and 2023.
The detailed order granting relief to Vedan is yet to be made available.
