Overview

  • Ernakulam Central police registered the new FIR on August 21 under Section 354 of the IPC.
  • The complainant alleges Vedan tried to sexually abuse her at a flat in Kochi in December 2020.
  • The researcher first submitted her complaint to the Chief Minister’s Office and the State Police Chief, after which it was forwarded to police.
  • Police have not recorded her statement yet because she is currently outside the state.
  • Separately, Vedan faces an earlier rape case filed by a woman doctor, and the Kerala High Court has restrained his arrest while his anticipatory bail plea is heard, with the next hearing on August 27.
