In a significant development, the Supreme Court has granted bail to Pulsar Suni, the prime accused in the high-profile actress attack case. The decision, albeit with strict conditions, has come after nearly seven years of incarceration.
The state government strongly opposed the bail application, arguing that it would jeopardize the ongoing investigation and trial. However, the Supreme Court ruled that the delay in the trial process warranted granting bail.
Pulsar Suni, whose real name is Sunil Kumar Pillai, was arrested in February 2017 in connection with the abduction and sexual assault of a popular Malayalam actress. The case has garnered widespread attention and sparked public outrage.
While the bail decision has brought some relief to Pulsar Suni, the investigation into the case continues, and the trial is expected to proceed.
