Kerala MLA Rahul Mamkootathil's bail plea set for December 3
Kerala's Palakkad MLA Rahul Mamkootathil faces serious accusations of rape and forced abortion, but he says the charges are politically motivated.
His lawyers have shared digital evidence, including messages, to show the relationship was consensual.
The court will hear his anticipatory bail plea on December 3, 2025.
What's happening in the case
Police are digging into digital evidence—like audio clips and texts—backed by a 65B certificate, while also seizing devices for cyber forensic checks.
There are extra claims that Mamkootathil illegally got abortion pills and pressured the complainant to take them.
An acquaintance, Joby Joseph, a businessperson, is also under investigation.
Meanwhile, his team denies he's trying to flee; they're focused on securing bail as the legal process continues.
