Sessions Court Rejects Bail Plea Of Actor Mansoor Ali Khan Over Comments On Covid Vaccination

Mansoor Ali Khan was earlier charged by the police on a complaint from the Greater Chennai Corporation, alleging that he had talked ill about Covid vaccination

A local court on Wednesday dismissed the advance bail plea of actor Mansoor Ali Khan, who feared arrest following his remarks allegedly made against covid vaccination, vis-a-vis the death of top Tamil comedian Vivekh last week. The Principal Sessions Court dismissed the actor's plea. Mr Khan was earlier charged by the police on a complaint from the Greater Chennai Corporation, alleging that he had talked ill about COVID-19 vaccination following Vivekh's death on April 17. Apprehending arrest, Mr Khan moved the Sessions court, seeking anticipatory bail. He claimed that Vivekh was one of his close friends and his comments about the COVID-19 vaccination at the hospital on the day of his demise was not intentional. He did not talk anything ill about the vaccination and its efficacy.
