Kerala HC Grants Anticipatory Bail to Rapper Vedan in Rape Case

Kochi, Aug 27 (PTI) In a notable legal development, the Kerala High Court has extended anticipatory bail to rapper Hirandas Murali, popularly known as Vedan, amidst a serious rape allegation. The court's decision acknowledges the gravity of the charges, yet concludes that custodial interrogation of the artist is unnecessary.

Presiding over the matter, Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas provided this legal relief to Vedan following accusations by a lady doctor. She has claimed that the rapper initiated a sexual relationship with her under the pretext of marriage, only to later renege on the commitment. Furthermore, she alleges multiple instances of sexual harassment by him from 2021 to 2023.

The comprehensive order detailing the basis for extending relief to Vedan has not yet been made public.
