Kochi, Nov 30 : Senior Kerala Government pleader P. G. Manu resigned after a woman lodged a police complaint accusing him of outraging her modesty. As per the complaint, Manu raped the woman after calling her on the pretext of discussing a case. The Advocate General had sent a word to the top government pleader after a case was registered and Manu put in his resignation. Manu has been the counsel for the National Investigation Agency (NIA). He had assaulted her last month when the complainant -- already a rape victim in a 2018 case -- approached him for speedy redressal. Manu reportedly violated her and subjected her under tremendous duress. Unable to bear the torture, she approached the local police and a case was registered against Manu. Counsel for the victim K.K. Bahila said the authorities should act quickly as any delay in further action would only help the accused. /IANS
