A crime branch team has filed a charge sheet in a sexual assault case against expelled Congress leader Rahul Mamkootathil. He is accused of three cases of assault, with charges under IPC Sections 376 and 506. The case relates to an incident involving a social media acquaintance.

The Crime Branch has made significant progress in their probe into the sexual assault allegations against Rahul Mamkootathil, the expelled Congress leader. A charge sheet concerning one incident was submitted to the Judicial First Class Magistrate in Thiruvalla, marking a pivotal development in the ongoing investigation.

Mamkootathil, who once served as the Palakkad MLA, is facing accusations under IPC Sections 376 and 506. Allegations suggest he manipulated a woman he met via social media in 2024, leading to an alleged assault in a Thiruvalla hotel.

The case has dramatically impacted Mamkootathil's political career, including his expulsion from the Congress party and missing the recent Assembly elections. He continues to confront legal challenges while obtaining anticipatory bails in other related cases.
