Supreme Court grants interim protection from arrest to actor Siddique in rape case

The Supreme Court granted interim protection to actor Siddique from arrest in a rape case filed against him. The actor has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman under the pretext of offering her roles in films. Siddique approached the apex court after a lower court denied his plea for anticipatory bail. The Supreme Court’s interim order prevents his arrest until the next hearing but asked Siddique to cooperate with the ongoing investigation. This decision highlights the court’s role in balancing individual rights and the need for a fair investigation.
