KOCHI: Actor Kavya Madhavan has not been made an accused in the case so far, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) informed the Kerala High Court on Monday. The prosecution made the submission on the anticipatory bail petition of Kavya.
Asked whether the petitioner is an accused, senior government pleader Suman Chakravarthy said, as of now, she is not an accused in the case. On court’s query if she is a witness, the prosecution said a decision whether to make her a witness has not been taken. Following the submission, the court asked the prosecution to file a statement on September 25. According to Kavya, the investigation agency was harassing her by permitting Pulsar Suni, the prime accused in the case, to make disclosures to media while being escorted to courts. The petition stated Kavya has been questioned by the agency on various occasions and various visits were made by the agency to her matrimonial house at Aluva and to her parents home at Vennala.
