According to court directions, Vedan appeared before the investigation team at 9 am. The questioning, which resumed from the previous day, led to his arrest being formally recorded around 12:15 p.m., said a personnel member attached to Thrikkakara police station.
The case originates from a complaint filed by a woman doctor, who alleged that Vedan pretended to befriend her, later entered into a relationship, and sexually assaulted her five times over two years under the false promise of marriage. She also alleged that he collected money from her on the pretext of releasing a song. Additionally, the Ernakulam Central police registered another case against Vedan following a sexual harassment complaint by a music researcher, for which his bail plea is still pending before the court.
