Several of the complainants alleged that they gave the money to Monson Mavunkal in Sudhakaran’s presence, leading to his arrest in the case.
In June 2023, Sudhakaran was arrested by the Crime Branch after nearly eight hours of grilling in the case.
However, he was immediately released on bail in compliance with an interim bail order of the High Court, which had directed that in the event of arrest he should be released on bail on execution of a bond for Rs 50,000 with two solvent sureties.
