Malayalam Rapper Vedan arrested in rape case
Kochi (PTI): Rapper Hirandas Murali, known as Vedan, was arrested by the police on Wednesday in connection with a rape case. Thrikkakara police formally recorded his arrest after an hours-long interrogation.
However, he is expected to be released soon, as the Kerala High Court granted anticipatory bail to him in the case, late last month. "His arrest was recorded. Now, he is taken for a medical examination. After that, some more interrogation will be carried out, and necessary procedures need to be completed. He will be released on bail later," a senior police officer said.
The rapper was asked to appear before the investigation officials for two days – Tuesday and Wednesday. He was questioned by the police for a few hours on Tuesday as well, the officer added.
The Kerala High Court, on August 27, granted the anticipatory bail to the rapper, who was accused by a lady doctor of entering into a sexual relationship with her on the promise of marriage and later withdrawing from the same. She has also accused him of sexually harassing her multiple times between 2021 and 2023.

Woman throws 18-month-old daughter in drain in Faridabad: Police
Faridabad (PTI): A woman allegedly killed her 18-month-old child - her sixth daughter - by throwing her into a drain in Faridabad, claiming she committed the crime as she was unable to take care of her family due to poverty, according to police.
The incident occurred near Dheeraj Nagar on April 23 when the girl's body was found stuck in an iron mesh along a drain by two school children, the police said on Sunday, adding the body was retrieved and sent for a postmortem.
A Crime Branch team, which was probing the case, found CCTV footage showing the girl's mother carrying her in her arms in the area. She then returned alone. The police took the woman into custody, and during questioning, she confessed to throwing the girl into the drain, they said.
The infant died of drowning.
The accused was identified as Neelam, a native of Madhubani in Bihar. She lived in Faridabad with her husband Sanjay, who works in a private firm, the police said.
A senior investigating officer said that during interrogation, the woman said that the deceased was the youngest of her six daughters and that she was driven to commit the crime due to poverty.
"She revealed that her family's financial situation was extremely poor, and with six daughters, she was unable to raise them properly," the officer said.
Police spokesperson Yashpal said they are investigating the matter and the entire picture will be clear soon.
