The editor of Tamil bi-weekly 'Nakkheeran', R Gopal, has moved the Madras High Court, seeking anticipatory bail in connection with videos that were allegedly released on the Pollachi sexual abuse case.
He submitted that the cybercrime wing, acting on a complaint from Deputy Speaker Pollachi Jayaraman, had registered cases against him under sections 153, 153 (A), 505, 469 of the IPC and Section 66 of the Information Technology Act.
Alleging that 'foisting' such a case against him was nothing but blatant misuse of power, Gopal said, "The mala fide intention of the complainant is to scare any other media from publishing any evidence in connection with the Pollachi sexual abuse case."
