Thodupuzha(Kerala): Sigh of relief to Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman P J Kurien, the Sessions Court here today dismissed a petition filed by the victim in the Suryanelli sex case seeking inclusion of the Congress leader in the case.

This is a  17-year-old case, where in a the victim had moved to the court against Kurien based on the “revelation” of the sole convict in the case Dharmarajan, who had claimed in a media interview a few months back that he had taken Kurien in a car to a guest house at Kumily where the girl was lodged.

Dharmarajan had later taken back his statement stating he had never met Kurien and he was in an intoxicated state when he made the charge through the media.

The victim filed the private review petition on the basis of the lone convict S S Dharmarajans “revelation” that he had taken Kurien to the guest house.

A few days after his interview to a channel, Dharmarajan was arrested from Karnataka after absconding for several years by jumping bail.

Two other accused in the case, Jamal and Unnikrishnan Nair, whom Dharmarajan had earlier claimed to be witnesses to the incident, had contested his claim.

The victim moved the sessions court after the Peerumade First Class Judicial Magistrate Court rejected her plea for a fresh inquiry in the case based on Dharmarajans statement.
