KOCHI: Businessman Boby Chemmanur said the authorities approached him Wednesday morning for the proceedings related to his bail. Boby also clarified that he came to know that he could not be released yesterday due to technical reasons.
'I promised to help those who have no one to take bail and are having difficulty in paying the money. Announced an amount of Rs one crore via Boche Fans Charitable Trust for people facing financial difficulty for legal help.
However, it is wrong to say that I deliberately defied the court and stayed in jail. I have respected the court for so long, will continue to do so in future, and will not do any unwise things. If I have hurt anyone intentionally or unintentionally, I have no hesitation in apologizing.
No one brought any paper to be signed yesterday. I have not said anything to hurt anyone intentionally with wrong intentions. I have helped people. My intentions are good. I generally speak in a joking manner. It is the same with men and women. I have never done anything with the intention of hurting anyone.
The organizers of Boche Fans Association in all districts were informed that no one should come to jail when released. Had told them that celebrations would adversely affect my bail. Therefore, strict instructions were given in advance not to come. I do not know who all came today.
Now, as per the court's instructions, I have realized that even if it is a joke, should use words carefully. I will pay attention to that from now on. I did not do it with the intention of using double entendre words. Said as a joke, did not try to hurt anyone. I will speak very carefully from now on,' said the businessman.
