KOCHI: The police team probing the bribery case of Rs 25 lakhs on the direction of the court will soon record the statement of the accused lawyer and the film producer who is believed to have handed over the money. The police may submit a report to the High Court by Saturday.

It is alleged that the lawyer took a bribe of Rs 25 lakh from the film producer, an accused in a sexual harassment case, to pay the High Court judge to get anticipatory bail in the harassment case. The investigation was handed over to the police by the full court after the allegation came to the attention of the judge hearing the harassment case against the producer. The High Court Registrar had asked the DGP to investigate the allegation raised against the lawyer, who assumes an important position in the High Court Advocates Association.
