Latest News about Rahul Mamkootathil
Rahul Mamkootathil was arrested and remanded to judicial custody in connection with a third rape complaint after police took him into custody from a hotel in Palakkad. The case expanded earlier allegations by including accusations of rape, coerced termination of pregnancy, financial extortion, cheating, and criminal intimidation.
Rahul Mamkootathil was expelled from the Congress party after a court rejected his anticipatory bail plea in a rape and coerced abortion case. The action followed multiple sexual misconduct allegations and a growing scandal that had already led to his suspension from party membership.
Rahul Mamkootathil resigned as Kerala Youth Congress president after actress Rini Ann George accused a young politician of sending obscene messages and inviting her to a hotel. The controversy widened when other women, including writer Honey Bhaskaran, made similar allegations and leaked audio and chat screenshots circulated publicly.
