Congress MLA Rahul Mamkootathil

A Kerala court on Wednesday granted bail to expelled Congress MLA Rahul Mamkootathil in the third sexual assault case against him, in which he was arrested earlier this month.

The bail was granted by the Pathanamthitta District Sessions Court, which was considering an appeal filed by him against a judicial magistrate's court that had denied him relief, stating that the allegations against him were serious.

The third sexual assault case was registered against the Palakkad MLA following a complaint lodged by a woman from Kottayam district on 8 January. He was arrested in the case on January 11 in Palakkad.
