KERALA: Anticipation continues to build over the court’s decision on the bail plea of Palakkad MLA Rahul Mamkootathil, who is currently under arrest in connection with multiple sexual assault cases.

Mamkootathil, who was arrested on Sunday following a confidential police operation, is currently on a 14-day judicial remand.

At the time of the arrest, he was out on bail in two other similar cases.

As the Thiruvalla Judicial First Class Magistrate Court considers his bail plea on Monday, the leaked chats, abortion-related allegations and alleged threats are likely to weigh heavily in determining whether custodial interrogation should continue and whether bail can be granted.
