The Kerala High Court refuses to extend transit bail granted to actor Farmaan Khan, who is accused in a kidnapping case linked to a viral Kumbh Mela video involving a woman. The court is informed that Madhya Pradesh authorities have moved forward in the case: the actor’s anticipatory bail application was reportedly dismissed by a Special Judge in Mandleshwar, Madhya Pradesh, under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The case is registered by Madhya Pradesh police based on a complaint by the woman’s father. According to the complaint, the woman is a minor, and the father alleges that Khan kidnapped her. With the anticipatory bail dismissed in Madhya Pradesh, the Kerala High Court declines to continue the transit bail already granted, effectively leaving Khan without extended protection while the case proceeds. The court’s decision aligns with information provided by the state of Madhya Pradesh regarding the status of the earlier bail application and the ongoing proceedings under POCSO.
