Kerala High Court Denies Extension of Transit Bail in Interfaith Kidnapping Case
The Kerala High Court declined to extend transit bail for Farmaan Khan, husband of the woman who gained viral attention during the Kumbh Mela, in a kidnapping case filed by her father in Madhya Pradesh. The court noted it lacked jurisdiction after Khan's anticipatory bail plea was dismissed by a Madhya Pradesh court. The case involves allegations including kidnapping, child marriage, and offenses under the SC/ST Act, amid controversy over their interfaith marriage and the woman's age.
