Earlier this month, a case was filed against Malayalam filmmaker Chidambaram S. Poduval for allegedly sexually assaulting an actress. A case was registered against the Manjummel Boys director by the Kochi City Police. Reportedly, the complaint was filed by an actress over an incident that allegedly occurred in 2022. 

Chidambaram gets bail

After the case was filed, Chidambaram S. Poduval applied for anticipatory bail. He was granted anticipatory bail by the Ernakulam Sessions Court in the sexual assault case filed by the actress. The order was issued by Sessions Judge KK Balakrishnan after hearing arguments from both the prosecution and the defence days after the case was registered in Kochi.
