Woman actor moves apex court to cancel Vijay Babu’s bail

The survivor in the alleged rape case involving Malayalam actor-producer Vijay Babu has approached the Supreme Court to cancel the conditional anticipatory bail granted to him by the Kerala High Court.  

Babu was booked for rape on a petition filed by the survivor on April 22 soon after which he had fled the country to Dubai via Bengaluru. The police booked a second case against him on April 27 after he revealed the identity of the survivor in a social media outburst from Dubai.

In her petition, she pointed out that Mr. Babu was challenging the rule of law by returning from abroad only after getting the bail. He might destroy the evidence and influence the witness in the case, if allowed to continue on bail, she said.
