Kerala MLA Rahul Mamkootathil in SIT Custody Amid Sexual Assault Investigations

Rahul Mamkootathil, an expelled Congress MLA from Kerala, is in SIT custody facing three sexual assault cases, including a recent complaint by a woman residing in Canada. Police have taken him to the alleged crime scene for evidence collection and seized his mobile phones, which he has refused to unlock. Kerala Assembly Speaker A.N. Shamseer stated that only an MLA's complaint can trigger disqualification proceedings. Meanwhile, a Congress leader's social media remarks questioning the complainant's credibility have sparked controversy and legal complaints.
