All about Rapper Vedan's alleged rape case

A case was filed by a doctor who alleged that Vedan befriended her in 2021 through Instagram, and over time, their relationship grew. In her complaint, the doctor claimed that the rapper promised to marry her, and under that assurance, they engaged in physical relations on several occasions in Kozhikode, Kochi, and other places between 2021 and 2023.

The complaint also stated that the two briefly lived together and that she provided him financial support, including funds for his debut album and travel expenses. However, on August 27, the High Court granted him conditional bail and asked him to present himself before the local police station for a few days.

In April this year, Hirandas Murali, better known as Vedan, was arrested at his residence after police seized nearly six grams of ganja from his home. Speaking to ANI, the police officials shared, "Ganja was found in the flat, and Rs 9 lakhs were also recovered. Vedan said that this money was the booking amount for an event. The Forest Department has also started an inquiry into his chain. Leopard teeth have been used in the chain." The officials confirmed that Vedan admitted to using drugs, and there were 8 people in his apartment at the time of the drug bust.
