Kerala HC grants bail to teacher accused in Vadakara MDMA case

The Kerala High Court has granted bail to one of the five accused in the alleged drug trafficking case in Vadakara.

K. Kavya, the third accused in the case, was one of the three special educators arrested for allegedly functioning as financial intermediaries for inter-State drug traffickers.

Justice Kauser Edappagath noted that Ms. Kavya was remanded in judicial custody on July 25 and that the investigation was almost done. The court recorded that she did not have any criminal antecedents, and thus her continued custody was unnecessary.

The court allowed the bail application, imposing conditions including a bond for ₹1 lakh with two solvent sureties, full co-operation with the investigation, weekly check-ins with the investigating officer, and restriction of travel outside Keralam.
