The arrest was formally recorded after Mr. Raju appeared at the Museum police station around 9.30 a.m., nearly 12 hours after the incident, which occurred as he was exiting Trivandrum Club in Vazhuthacaud in the city. He was later released on station bail following a medical examination at the General Hospital. The results of the examination are yet to be known.
