Balakrishnan on account of this case was given an honourable exit by the party which asked him to go on medical leave as he was suffering from cancer of the pancreas.
Bineesh has now informed the court that his father is unwell and it is the responsibility of a son to be near his father at such a time. Hence, he should be given bail for which he has submitted all the medical certificates highlighting the ailment of his father.
However, Balakrishnan along with his wife and elder son had cast his vote in the April 6 assembly polls at their home town in Tellicherry in Kannur.
