Vijay Babu had applied to the Kerala High Court for anticipatory bail in the rape case that had been brought against him. It was a "effort to blackmail" him, he alleged. Babu is accused of sexually assaulting a female actor and then revealing the survivor's name via a Facebook live session. In his appeal, the producer-turned-actor stated that "the current tendency" was that "anyone may bring sexual claims against anyone for the purpose of notoriety" in order to destroy the image of a person who is prominent in society.
