Kerala High Court Hears Anticipatory Bail Plea of Rapper Vedan in Rape Case

The Kerala High Court granted interim protection from arrest to Malayalam rapper Hiran Das Murali, known as Vedan, in a rape case filed by a woman doctor.

The bench allowed a woman who accused rapper Hiran Das Murali, known by his stage name Vedan, of sexual assault to be impleaded as a party in his anticipatory bail plea.

Vedan claimed the relationship was voluntary and the complaint arose after a personal fallout. The complainant opposed bail, citing two other rape complaints against Vedan. Earlier this year, Vedan was arrested twice in unrelated cases but released on bail both times.
