Earlier, the Bengaluru special court dismissed Bineesh’s bail plea twice, after which, he approached the High Court in April this year citing the health issues of his father. In court, Bineesh’s lawyer pointred out that he was not named in the charge sheet filed by the Narcotics Control Bureau. It was argued that the ED case would not stand as the NCB did not name him as the accused. From the beginning Bineesh has claimed that he is being hunted for being the son of Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, and allegations of drug dealings are all fabricated.
