Controversies He was arrested in 2016 for public indecency, where he flashed 14 schoolgirls in Palakkad, though he was released on bail. He was again arrested in July 2022 for flashing naked in front of two minors. He was denied bail and was remanded for seven days. The court, considering that he was undergoing treatment for a behavioural disorder for the past six years, was granted bail on condition that the bail would get cancelled if he was found guilty of similar offenses again.
