KOCHI: Actor Vijay Babu says that the sexual assault complaint against him is fabricated. Vijay Babu made this clear to the police when he was questioned in the rape case. Vijay Babu alleged that the reason behind the case was the resentment that the actress was not given a chance in films. He also said that he had consensual sex with the actress.

Vijay Babu is being questioned at Thevara station in Ernakulam. Meanwhile, the Kochi police commissioner said that the actor will be questioned in detail. He told the media that justice would be served to the complainant and those who helped Vijay Babu during his absconding would be found. He will be released after questioning as there was an order not to arrest him till tomorrow.

The actor returned to Kochi at 9 am today after a month of absconding. The actor responded that he has full faith in the court and will co-operate with the investigation.

Earlier, the probe team had tried to bring back Vijay Babu, who had gone abroad following a rape complaint but were unsuccessful. The court also ruled that it would consider anticipatory bail only if he returned. The court had yesterday granted interim anticipatory bail to Vijay Babu as there were chances of him absconding while he staying abroad. While considering his anticipatory bail application, the actor had told the High court that that he had not returned earlier at the informed time because of the fear that he would be arrested.

The case was registered by the police following a complaint lodged by the actress that Vijay Babu had assaulted her on March 16 and March 22.
