The Karur principal district and sessions court and Madras HC high court had rejected his petitions for anticipatory bail last month, following which he went underground.
He had, then, filed a fresh petition before the Madurai Bench of the high court seeking anticipatory bail, on the ground that his father has to undergo a surgery and that his presence was much needed. The petition is yet to be taken up for hearing.
