A prominent rapper known as Vedan, whose real name is Hirandas Murali, has been making headlines. He faced serious accusations of sexual assault. But there’s good news for him from the Kerala High Court. The court gave him some temporary bail. This move brings a moment of calm to the ongoing legal storm.
This rapper has been at the center of a big case. A woman doctor brought serious charges against him. Tuesday marked a significant day for Vedan. The Kerala High Court granted him temporary bail. This decision has sparked much discussion. Let’s look at what the high court stated.
Justice Bechu Thomas from the Kerala High Court heard Vedan’s request. This request was for bail before any arrest could happen. The judge gave clear instructions to the lawyers representing the accuser. They were told not to arrest Vedan. This order stands until his request for anticipatory bail is looked at again.
Victim’s Lawyers Speak Out
During Tuesday’s court session, the lawyer for the person who made the complaint spoke up. They told the court that two other women also complained against Vedan. These complaints went directly to the Chief Minister. The lawyers claimed that Vedan has a history of such actions. They called him a “repeated offender.”
However, the court then asked a key question. It wanted to know how these claims could be proven. The judge asked the lawyer to provide proof. This pushed the legal team to back up their statements.
Relationship Was Consensual, Says Vedan’s Lawyer
On the other side, Vedan’s lawyer presented their argument. They stated that the relationship between the rapper and the woman who complained was consensual. This means both parties agreed to what happened. The lawyer’s statement sets a clear defense for Vedan. The next hearing for this plea will continue on Wednesday.
What’s the Case All About?
Last month, the Thrikkakara Police filed a case against Vedan. This happened after the doctor made a formal complaint. The doctor stated that Vedan sexually assaulted her several times. She claimed these events took place between 2021 and 2023. She also said that he had promised to marry her.
