KOCHI: Kerala High Court has cancelled Civic Chandran's anticipatory bail. The order was issued in an appeal filed by the state government and the complainant woman against the judgment of the Kozhikode Sessions Court. The court also directed Civic Chandran to appear before the investigating officer.

The ’provocative dress’ remark made by the Kozhikode Sessions Court about the complainant while considering the bail petition against Civic Chandran was controversial. Kozhikode District Sessions Court Judge S Krishnakumar issued the controversial order.

The complaint is that after the camp held on February 8, 2020, when the complainant was resting on the beach, Civic Chandran groped her and behaved indecently. On July 29, 2022, the Koyilandi police registered a case on the complaint filed by the woman, but the court granted anticipatory bail.
