Sex abuse case against Kerala CPIM leader's son settled outside, woman gets Rs 80 lakh

Both parties mutually agreed on the compensation to raise the child born to the woman.

The sexual abuse case filed against veteran CPIM leader Kodiyeri Balakrishnan's son, Binoy Kodiyeri, has been settled out of court, with a compensation of Rs 80 lakh. The Bombay High Court quashed the FIR after accepting the settlement terms.

Both parties mutually agreed on the compensation to raise the child born to the woman. She has already been paid the amount, according to the document submitted before the court.

The document, however, does not include information about the child's paternity.

In 2019, a woman filed a complaint with Mumbai’s Oshiwara Police accusing Binoy of sexual abuse on the false promise of marriage. The woman, who is from Bihar, also claimed that she has an 8-year-old child from the relationship and demanded compensation to raise her son.

Binoy, later, approached the High Court claiming he was falsely implicated by the woman. The court ordered a DNA test.The woman requested the court to make the DNA test results public when the move to settle the case outside court began.

Binoy is the elder son of former CPIM state secretary and former Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan.
