Kochi, April 4 A court granted three days of police custody to director Ranjith, who was arrested in connection with an alleged incident of sexual harassment on a film shooting set.
Ernakulam Chief Judicial Magistrate Selmath RM allowed the petition filed by the police seeking custody of Ranjith for three days.
The court granted custody until Monday evening.
Ranjith was produced before the court on Saturday morning from the Ernakulam sub-jail, where he had been held for the past three days.
He also filed a bail petition, claiming his innocence.
Ranjith's lawyer argued that the arrest was carried out without following due process and cited his health condition while seeking bail.
The court said it would consider the bail plea later.
Ranjith was arrested on Tuesday night from Thodupuzha after an actress approached the police alleging that he had sexually harassed her inside a caravan during a film shoot in Fort Kochi.
