The Chief Sessions Court, Thiruvananthapuram, on Thursday posted the anticipatory bail application filed by filmmaker and former Left Independent MLA PT Kunju Muhammed in the sexual assault case for Saturday (December 20, 2025).
At a hearing held here on Thursday, counsel appearing for Mr. Muhammed alleged that the case was fabricated and alleged that the woman had broken into his room. The prosecution strongly refuted his allegations while opposing his bail plea.
After a detailed hearing, the case was adjourned to Saturday. The police case was that on November 6, Mr. Muhammed invited the woman to his room on the pretext of discussing the film’s selection process and outraged her modesty, forcing the survivor to flee. On November 26, the woman approached the Chief Minister’s Office, which forwarded the complaint to state police chief Ravad Chandrasekhar for further investigation.
On December 2, the Cantonment police charged Mr. Muhammed with offenses of outraging the modesty of a woman, illegal detention, intimidation and trespassing under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
