Filmmaker Sanal Kumar Sasidharan, who was arrested following a complaint filed by actor Manju Warrier on charges of blackmailing her, was on Friday given bail by a local court.
Sasidharan, arrested on Thursday, was produced before the Aluva First Class Judicial Magistrate Court here after he refused to go on station bail. The magistrate court heard him and gave him bail upon furnishing sureties.
Police told PTI that they were willing to let him go on station bail on Thursday night itself. However, he was insisting that he be taken to court and produced him before the Aluva Magistrate court from where he procured bail.
Sasidharan, a known filmmaker in Malayalam, was arrested for allegedly blackmailing the actor and maligning her reputation through social media.
