CHENNAI: A day after former AIADMK minister
M Manikandan
was nabbed in Bengaluru, the
Greater Chennai
police have decided to seek five day custody of him for a detailed inquiry into the case.
Manikandan was booked after an actor accused him of cheating on the promise of marriage and raping him.
One of the two special teams rushed to Bengaluru based on a tip and secured
Manikandan from a hideout in Wilson Garden.
He was brought to Chennai and produced before the 17th metropolitan magistrate court in
Saidapet
and remanded him in judicial custody till July 2.
The actress alleged that she met Manikandan in 2017 when he was minister and got close to him after the latter promised to do business together in Malaysia. She had reportedly tagged along with him to several places during his official tours. She alleged that she was tortured and also forced by him to abort.
Police are also likely to book the man who gave asylum to the former minister, despite knowing that he is an absconding accused. He was staying in a safe location for nearly eight days before his arrest. Moreover, after seizing a few
CCTV
camera footage and videos from the actor,
police
will seek his custody.
