SIT probes Balakrishnan after caravan linked to alleged sexual assault
Entertainment
Director Ranjith Balakrishnan, currently in jail over sexual assault charges, is facing a deeper investigation after police recovered a caravan linked to the alleged crime.
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) is checking if others helped him evade arrest and plans to question actor Bobby Kurian and an assistant director about possible involvement.
Investigators seek CCTV, prosecutors oppose bail
Finding the caravan is a big step for investigators. Since there are no cameras inside, they are hunting for outside CCTV footage that could reveal more about Ranjith's movements or if anyone helped him out.
Meanwhile, Ranjith's bail plea is being challenged by prosecutors due to the seriousness of the accusations, though his defense claims he is innocent and cites health concerns.
