Pantheerankavu Domestic Violence: Accused-husband moves Kerala High Court to quash case [Read More]

Rahul P Gopal, the main accused in the Pantheerankavu domestic violence case, has filed a petition in the Kerala High Court seeking to quash criminal proceedings initiated against him and his family. \r

The plea, presented through advocate Manas P Hameed, contends that Gopal was falsely accused by his wife of domestic violence, including physical assault and attempted strangulation. Despite initial accusations and an FIR under IPC sections 324, 498A, 307, and 212, the wife later retracted her statements, citing pressure from her lawyer and family. \r

Gopal asserts the allegations arose from a minor marital dispute and claims reconciliation with his wife, aiming to halt further legal action.
