Background of the First Rape Case
In early 2023, a woman had approached PG Manu for legal advice. She later filed a complaint saying that Manu sexually assaulted her at his office. She also accused him of sharing her private pictures without permission.
After this complaint, the police registered an FIR (First Information Report) against him. The charges included rape and offences under the Information Technology (IT) Act.
PG Manu tried to get anticipatory bail, first from the Kerala High Court and then from the Supreme Court, but both courts rejected his request.
In January 2023, he was arrested and sent to judicial custody. He was later granted bail in March 2023, with strict conditions. One major condition was that he should not commit any new crime while out on bail.
After the FIR was filed in the first case, PG Manu resigned from his post as Senior Government Pleader.
Second Allegation Just Before His Death
Recently, another serious allegation came up against Manu. A video clip became viral where a man was seen confronting Manu and accusing him of raping his wife.
The man claimed that his wife had gone to Manu for legal help, but Manu forced her and raped her.
The video spread quickly among lawyers and legal professionals, and reports said that a new police complaint was likely to be filed soon.
If the complaint was filed, it would have been considered a violation of his bail conditions, and Manu could have been arrested again.
Death and Police Investigation
Today, PG Manu was found dead at his home in Kollam. Initial reports suggest that he died by suicide.
The police are now conducting an investigation into the exact cause of death and are also looking into the recent allegations made against him.
