Actor Bala arrested following ex-wife Amrutha Suresh’s complaint, to urge HC to quash case | Onmanorama News

Kochi: Actor Bala alias Balakumar, who was arrested following the complaint of his ex-wife Amrutha Suresh, will approach the High Court on Monday seeking to quash the case. Bala and his manager Rajesh, arrested this morning, are still at the Kadavanthra police station. Police said the actor may be produced in court in the evening.

Bala’s lawyer, Fathima Siddique, said an arrest could have been avoided in the case. “Bala is cooperating with the police and would have presented himself at the police station if he had been summoned for questioning. We have decided to approach the High Court in an attempt to quash the case,” she said .

In her complaint, Amrutha accused Bala of insulting her through social media posts and claimed that her videos had emotionally hurt their daughter. She argued Bala violated their divorce agreement, which prohibits personal taunts. “He constantly bothers me and my 12-year-old daughter and even gives paid online interviews about us,” she added.

Bala and Rajesh were arrested from the actor’s apartment in Kochi. According to Manorama News, the actor was charged with outraging the modesty of a woman and faces additional charges under juvenile justice laws, all of which are non-bailable.

Police registered the case on October 12, identifying three individuals as accused. Bala is the main accused, followed by Rajesh as the second accused and Ananthakrishnan, the founder of Film Factory, as the third accused.

Bala had earlier alleged that Amrutha was stopping him from seeing their daughter. However, the girl later shared a video on Instagram detailing the emotional distress she and her mother experienced due to her father’s behavior.
