Giri Madhusoodana Rao, suspended Chief Airport Operator of the Thiruvananthapuram international airport, on Monday filed an anticipatory bail petition before the High Court in a rape case registered by the Thumba police.
The allegation of the prosecution against him was that he had seduced a woman employee working under him to come to his flat and had sexual intercourse with her without her consent and thus committed rape.
He said in his petition that he had earlier worked at the Thiruvananthapuram airport in various posts and also worked as airport director of the Vijayawada international airport. He joined the Adani group after his superannuation in July 2021.
