The Kerala High Court has granted bail to businessman Boby Chemmanur in a sexual harassment case filed by Malayalam actress Honey Rose.
Background:
Honey Rose accused Chemmanur of making derogatory remarks about her during a public event approximately four months prior. She publicly disclosed her complaint by posting a letter addressed to Chemmanur on social media.
Legal Proceedings:
Following the complaint, Chemmanur was arrested and placed in judicial custody. He was charged under Section 75(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for making 'sexually colored remarks' and under Section 67 of the IT Act for publishing or transmitting obscene material electronically.
The High Court granted bail after the police indicated that his custody was no longer necessary. However, Chemmanur chose to remain in jail to express solidarity with fellow prisoners unable to secure release due to technical reasons.
Current Status:
As of January 15, 2025, Chemmanur remains in custody despite being granted bail. His decision to stay in jail has garnered public attention, reflecting his stance on the broader issues within the judicial system.
