Anticipatory bail granted to Binoy Kodiyeri

Mumbai: The Dindoshi sessions court granted anticipatory bail to Binoy Kodiyeri, son of a senior Kerala CPI (M) leader, in connection with the alleged rape of a 33-year-old former bar dancer. The woman had claimed that Binoy sexually abused her after promising to marry her and she had an eight-year-old son from him.

Denying all allegations, Binoy had filed an anticipatory bail application in the Dindoshi court. The court, after hearing both sides, reserved order and gave protection from arrest to Binoy. On Wednesday, additional sessions judge M.H. Shaikh, allowed his application and directed that he be released on bail following furnishing of `25,000 as personal bond with one or two solvent sureties of the same amount, in case of his arrest.

The court also put a condition that henceforth for a period of one month, Binoy remain present before the investigation officer at Oshiwara police station every Monday between 10 am and 1 pm and cooperate with the investigation.
