A sessions court granted anticipatory bail to Binoy Kodiyeri, son of a senior Kerala CPI(M) leader, in connection with a rape case on Wednesday.
The anticipatory bail application filed by Binoy (37), son of Kerala state secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) K Balakrishnan, was allowed by Additional Sessions Judge M H Shaikh. A detailed order related to this case is awaited.

A former bar dancer had alleged that Binoy Kodiyeri had sexually abused her after promising to marry her and that she had an eight-year-old child from him. Binoy Kodiyeri had denied the allegations. Based on the victim's complaint, the Oshiwara police had booked Binoy Kodiyeri under IPC sections 420 (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property) and 376 (punishment for rape).
