Kerala,Dec 1 : A government lawyer accused of rape in Kerala called up the survivor’s family with a tearful plea to withdraw the case against him, telling them, “Don’t spoil my life… I am going to be selected as a judge”.
A case was lodged against senior government pleader at the Kerala High Court, PG Manu, by Ernakulam Rural Police for allegedly sexually assaulting a client at his office and her residence.
