Kochi: Actor Siddique is on the brink of arrest as Kochi police ramp up efforts following the issuance of a lookout circular to prevent him from fleeing the country. The action comes in connection with a rape case filed by a young actress, with authorities confirming there are no legal obstacles in moving forward with the arrest.
Siddique’s anticipatory bail request was recently rejected by the Kerala High Court, prompting the police to escalate their search. The actor has reportedly switched off all communication lines, making him hard to trace.
The investigation team asserts that they have gathered substantial evidence and witness statements supporting the allegations, which claim that Siddique sexually assaulted the actress in a Thiruvananthapuram hotel. With the court’s rejection of bail, Siddique’s arrest appears imminent.
