喀拉拉法院以证据不足和严格条件为由,准予前MLA Rahul Mamkootathil在第一次强奸案件中保释。 Kerala court grants bail to former MLA Rahul Mamkootathil in first rape case, citing weak evidence and strict conditions.

喀拉拉高等法院于2026年2月12日给予前国会前MLA Rahul Mamkootathil预先保释,这是针对他的三起强奸案中的第一起,并列举了在现阶段不足以证明强奸的证据。 The Kerala High Court granted anticipatory bail to former Congress MLA Rahul Mamkootathil on February 12, 2026, in the first of three rape cases against him, citing insufficient evidence to prove rape at this stage. 法院由Kauser Edapapagath法官领导,规定了严格的条件:交出护照和手机,每隔第二个星期六在警察面前露面,接受体检,不得离开喀拉拉邦或与证人接触。 The court, led by Justice Kauser Edappagath, imposed strict conditions: surrendering his passport and mobile phone, appearing before police every second Saturday, undergoing medical exams, and refraining from leaving Kerala or contacting witnesses. 尽管法院注意到申诉人的陈述前后不一致,并承认存在事先双方同意的关系,但该决定沿用了此前对另外两个案件提供的保释金,并涉及强迫堕胎、威胁和胁迫等指控。 The decision follows previous bail grants in two other cases and comes amid allegations of forced abortion, threats, and coercion, though the court noted inconsistencies in the complainant’s statements and acknowledged a prior consensual relationship. Mamkootathil被逐出国会党,于2025年8月被停职,目前仍是Palakkad的司法协助。 Mamkootathil, expelled from the Congress party and suspended in August 2025, remains an MLA for Palakkad. 前两起案件的调查已移交国家警察犯罪处。 The investigation in the first two cases has been transferred to the State Police Crime Branch.
