Police said Thankachan surrendered on Monday and he was taken into custody. ”His arrest will be recorded soon,” police said. The duo surrendered after the Supreme Court and the Kerala High Court denied any protection from arrest.
Hotel 18 owner, Roy J Vayalat, had on Sunday surrendered at the Kochi City Police Commissioner’s office after the Supreme Court on Friday denied any relief to him in his plea seeking anticipatory bail in the case.
Earlier, the Kerala High Court on March 8 had denied the relief to Vayalat and his friend Thankachan, saying that they are not entitled to anticipatory bail in view of the nature of allegations against them.
