A ccused to remain in custody as court reserves bail order
Thiruvananthapuram: A day after senior advocate Beyline Das (48) was remanded in judicial custody for allegedly assaulting junior lawyer Syamili JV (26), a court has reserved its order on his bail plea until Monday. The judicial first-class magistrate court (JFCM) -12 considered the bail application on Saturday and posted the matter for orders. As a result, Das will remain in custody until Monday. The bail plea was originally filed at JFCM Court-11 on Friday, the day Das was produced before the magistrate following his arrest. However, due to the absence of the magistrate at Court-11 on Saturday, the matter was taken up at Court-12. It will return to Court-11 for the final decision on Monday. Meanwhile, an audio clip attributed to Syamili surfaced on social media, reportedly shared in the WhatsApp group of lawyers . In the clip, Syamili is heard expressing disappointment over how a section of the bar association allegedly turned against her and circulated baseless stories to tarnish her image. "I am not blaming everyone in the bar association. But, some of them are cooking up baseless stories and propagating information they have no knowledge about," she says in the recording. "In a WhatsApp group, which had over 600 lawyers as members, the issue came up for discussion and I was blamed.

Victim blaming should not happen in such cases as it is painful and worrisome," Syamili later said while talking to media persons. Following the leak, the bar association reportedly issued a directive instructing all its members to refrain from discussing the case in WhatsApp groups and similar forums. Syamili said that she already feels a sense of justice, especially with the arrest and remand of the accused. "I'm grateful for the support from everyone – the media, police, bar council, bar association, and all other individuals and organizations. While I was criticized in a lawyers' group for supposedly thanking only the media, I want to clarify that my thanks extend to everyone who helped me." She also expressed concern about the potential influence of the accused on office staff, who are witnesses in the case. "I am not worried about who will stand by me. I've already received justice," she said.

Lawyer assault: Beyline Das arrested
1 2 3 4 T'puram: Vanchiyoor police on Thursday arrested advocate Beyline Das, 48, in a case related to the brutal assault of his junior advocate Syamili J V, 26, during a discussion about her expulsion from office on Tuesday. The Ambalathara native was arrested near Station Kadavu based on a tip-off received by police. Das had moved an anticipatory bail application and a court was about to consider it on Friday. Das's mobile phone remained switched off as he went absconding after the incident. It turned on at Poonthura on Tuesday and at Kazhakkoottam on Thursday morning. With this, police confirmed his presence in the city and search was intensified. In the evening, Vanchiyoor station house officer received a tip-off about him travelling in a red car near Station Kadavu. Soon, the control room was alerted and a Dansaf patrolling team started following him. Thumba police too got in touch with the Dansaf team through the control room and the car was stopped at Station Kadavu. Vanchiyoor police also reached the spot and took him into custody. Das was staying at his friend's house at Pallithura and even visited his ancestral house at Poonthura. The accused was charged under non-bailable BNS Section 74 (for using criminal force against a woman with the intention to outrage her modesty), 126 (2) (for wrongful restraint) and 115 (2) (for causing hurt). He was produced before a court and remanded in judicial custody for 14 days. Syamili thanked Kerala Police for arresting the accused and hoped legal proceedings would lead to apt punishment for Das. He had slapped her on the face all of a sudden during the discussion and she fell down. Pulling her up, the accused kept on slapping her until she fainted. Syamili was attacked when she was five months pregnant as well, she alleged. Oppn alleges CPM connection Opposition leader V D Satheesan alleged earlier that Das was not being arrested since he was close to CPM leaders. "Das, who brutally assaulted young lawyer Syamili, is being shielded by the govt and the police. The issue involves not only the disrespect towards womanhood but also inappropriate behaviour at workplace. However, neither the police nor the govt has taken any action," he alleged. "Das was a CPM candidate in the local body elections. Those who have come forward to protect him have close ties with the ruling party. There is suspicion that the govt is following the usual practice of saving party affiliates regardless of their criminal activities. The CPM's typical approach of pretending to support the victim while actually protecting the perpetrator cannot be allowed in this case," he said. Congress and UDF will fully support Shyamili's legal battle, he added.
