The Kochi city police are closing in on the beleaguered actor-producer Vijay Babu who is accused of raping a young upcoming actor by gearing to move for impounding his passport very shortly.
Police are convinced that he is now in Dubai after fleeing the country after getting wind of the registration of the case against him by the Ernakulam South police. He may be given another two days at the most for returning voluntarily and cooperating with the legal process failing which police will set in motion the process to impound his passport.
“That process takes just 24 hours. Since there is already a lookout circular against him, he will not be able to travel anywhere from Dubai. He will be practically stuck there waiting for us to go there and nab him. We hope good sense will prevail and he will return on his own as he will have to face the law soon rather than later and delaying it will only be all the more damaging to his professional career,” said C.H. Nagaraju, District Police Chief (Kochi City).
