Kerala Actress Assault Case: Accused Pulsar Suni Granted Interim Bail To Carry Out His Father's Funeral Rites

Pulsar Suni Granted Interim Bail To Carry Out His Father's Funeral Rites: A sessions court at Ernakulam on Thursday granted short-term bail to Sunil NS alias Pulsar Suni, the main Accused in the 2017 Kerala actress assault case, to perform his father's funeral rites.

The report by Bar and Bench says that Sessions Judge Honey M. Varghese gave Suni permission to visit his home today (March 7, Friday,) in Perumbavoor between 8 am and 4 pm. As his father passed away in the morning on Thursday, Suni moved the application.

He was told not to speak to any witnesses or conduct any media interviews, and to only communicate with immediate family.

In the infamous 2017 actress assault case, a well-known female actor was kidnapped, driven around in a car, photographed, and subjected to sexual abuse, allegedly at the command of film actor Dileep. The Principal Sessions Court in Ernakulam is currently hearing the case's trial.

Suni is the prime accused in the case. He allegedly told investigating officers that a well-known actor from the Malayalam film industry, Dileep, was not only complicit in the crime but also its organizer.

The Kerala High Court first denied Suni's request for bail in March 2022. He then petitioned the Supreme Court, which turned down his request for bail in July 2022. Suni may, however, reapply for bail before the High Court if the trial is not finished in a fair amount of time, according to the Supreme Court.

He then appealed to the High Court once more, and on March 6 it dismissed his bail request. Then, on March 29, he filed an appeal that is still pending with the Supreme Court.
