No anticipatory bail for activists in Youtuber assault

A court in Kerala has rejected the anticipatory bail pleas of three women activists including dubbing artist Bhagyalakshmi, Diya Sana and Sreelekshmi Arackal in connection with the assault on a Youtuber. The court strongly rejected their pleas stating that no citizen can override the law and their behaviour was unacceptable.

Thiruvananthapuram: As a setback to three women activists including renowned dubbing artist Bhagyalakshmi, a court here on Friday rejected their anticipatory bail pleas in connection with Youtuber assault case.

The court reprimanded the bail plea of the three women who barged into Youtuber Vijay B Nair's room last month after he allegedly made derogatory remarks against these women on social media. After he was doused with black oil, Bhagyalakshmi was seen beating him in a Facebook video and he was made to apologise for his curt remarks about women.

Bhayalakshmi, Diya Sana and Sreelekshmi Arackal captured video of the entire events that took place at his room and later uploaded it in social media. It turned out to be villainous for them.

While Nair was later arrested, he had filed a complaint against the three women. Following the complaint been registered the three activists approached the court, here for anticipatory bail.

Disposing of the petition, the court said one cannot take the law into the hands by using force and the behaviour of the three was not acceptable, denied their plea for anticipatory bail. The prosecution also strongly opposed the bail and pointed out none can take the law into their hands.
