A Blue Corner notice issued against actor-producer Vijay Babu, who is facing charges of raping an upcoming actor and then revealing her identity, came into force on Thursday morning.
The Kochi City police had on Wednesday initiated the procedures to get the notice issued by approaching the State and national nodal officers of the Interpol. A Blue Corner notice is issued by the Interpol to collect additional information from its member countries about a person’s identity, location or activities in relation to a crime.
Mr. Babu has been absconding since the first case against him was registered on April 22, followed by a second one for revealing the identity of the survivor. The police had to opt for the Blue Corner notice after the actor declined to reveal his present location during e-mail communication and turn up for interrogation. He would only say that he was abroad for business purposes. He is now suspected to be in Dubai.
