Assault against YouTuber: Kerala High Court is hearing the anticipatory bail applications preferred by Malayalam Film Industry dubbing artist Bhagyalakshmi and two others, Diya Sana and Sreelakshmi Arackal in a case registered for assaulting YouTuber Vijay P Nair.
The YouTuber had made sexist and offensive remarks against the women. The women rushed to Nair’s office and poured black oil on his face for his vulgar remarks against one of the women and against ‘feminists’ generally. The assault was streamed live on Facebook.
Before leaving, they took his laptop and left.
Their earlier bail plea before a Thiruvanathapuram Sessions Court was rejected by a Court which stated that no one could take the law into their own hands.
Advocate KP Jayachandran appears for the women.
He argues that the women were invited by the YouTuber to his office, and he tried to physically harm them after which they assaulted him, he stated.
They had no intention to rob the Youtuber that attracted Section 392 of the Indian Penal Code, they have surrendered the devices to the police: Jayachandran
The prosecution is making submissions.
Advocate Renjith B. Marar is challenging the bail application preferred by Diya Sana, who supposedly threw the ink and oil at Nair.
The fact that she went with oil and ink, and took away his laptop without authority shows her dishonest intention: Marar
Marar, as did the prosecution, argued that the three had barged into Nair's residence and weren't invited.
She threatened me, this is seen on the video: Marar
"She is camouflaging herself as a feminist": Marar on the second accused
How would you justify the charges under Section 452 IPC against them?: Justice Ashok Menon

there is no "preparation" to attract the offence
"We cannot encourage vigilantism, they should not have taken the law into their own hands": Menon J
Justice Menon announces that he will pronounce judgment in the manner on 30th
Another counsel for a third party applicant, other than Advocate Marar appears.

Why are you submitting, your application will also be dismissed along with Marar's: Ashok Menon J

You are learned persons in law, which is why I'm listening to your submissions: Menon J says in jest
Judgement in the matter will be pronounced on 30th.
*30th of October.

Till then, the accused have been afforded protection from arrest.
