New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted anticipatory bail to Malayalam actor Siddique in a rape case against him based on allegations levelled by a young actor. The Apex Court noted that the complainant hadn’t gone to the police for 8 years and had not reported the alleged assault to the Hema Committee either.
A bench comprising Justice Bela Trivedi and Satish Chandra Sharma made the interim anticipatory bail, granted on September 30, absolute. However, the court asked the actor to cooperate in the investigation and surrender his passport with the trial court.
