Adv Saiby Jose appears in HC in sexual assault case against actor Unni Mukundan; claims that complaint expressed willingness to settle case through email

KOCHI: Actor Unni Mukundan’s advocate Saiby Jose Kidangoor has claimed in the High court that he had not filed a forged affidavit in court in the sexual assault case. The voice message of the complainant is with him. She had shown her intention to settle the case through an email.

Earlier, the High Court had withdrawn the stay for further proceedings in the sexual assault case. Adv. Saiby Jose who was accused of bribing High court judges appeared for the actor in the case.

At the main stage of the case, Saiby Jose gave an affidavit in the court claiming that the complainant was ready for settlement. Jose told the court that the complainant is willing to settle the case and the proceedings of the case should be stayed until it is completed. But the complainant approached the court stating that this was false. Then the court asked Unni Mukundan to submit a detailed affidavit.

The incident related to the case took place in 2017. A stay was granted in the case in 2021 as informed by Saiby Jose. This was withdrawn by High Court last week. The case was that Unni Mukundan tried to sexually assault the woman who had come for movie discussion in a flat in Kochi.
