In a high-profile case, a senior lawyer found himself in police custody following allegations of assaulting a female junior colleague in Vanchiyoor. The arrest occurred just hours after he filed for anticipatory bail, a request countered by the woman's claims of a fabricated defense.

The incident has stirred controversy within the legal community, as the Bar Council moved swiftly to suspend the accused lawyer from practicing. Simultaneously, the victim's family has accused the senior lawyer of attempting to manipulate legal loopholes to avoid justice.
