Kochi: A Court in Kochi in Kerala sent businessman Boby Chemmanur to judicial remand in connection with a sexual harassment case filed against him by a Malayalam actress, media reports said.
The Judicial First Class Magistrate -II, Ernakulam remanded Chemannur after rejecting his bail.
The actress in her complaint accused Chemmanur of making inappropriate comments about her during a personal interaction at the inaugural function for a jewellery store owned by the businessman.
Chemmanur was arrested from Wayanad in North Kerala. Chemannur subsequently moved the Magistrate Court for bail arguing that all the allegations against him were false and concocted by the actress as part of a publicity stunt.
He also produced a video recording of the alleged incident and pointed out that the actress had waited for 5 months after the incident to file the complaint.
It was also submitted that any evidence to be collected in this case is easily available in the public domain, making his remand unnecessary.
The prosecution strongly opposed the bail.
