Previously Booked Over Possession Of Leopard Tooth
Just months ago, Vedan found himself at the centre of another controversy when a local Perumbavoor court granted him bail on April 30 in a wildlife-related case. He had been booked for allegedly possessing what officials believed to be a tiger's tooth.
The situation escalated when forest officials were alerted during a raid that uncovered a tooth, suspected to be from a leopard, attached to a chain the rapper wore. Initially, Vedan claimed he had purchased it in Thailand. However, his statement later changed; he told authorities the item was a gift from a fan during an event in Chennai in May 2024. The probe into the origin and legality of the ornament remains ongoing.
Caught With Ganga Kochi Raid
Just days before the wildlife case, Vedan had another brush with the law. The State Excise Department apprehended him from his rented apartment in Kochi after they discovered 6 grams of ganja during a search operation. The rapper admitted to using the substance and was granted bail on the same day by local police.
As investigations continue across multiple fronts, Vedan’s legal troubles appear far from over. The current sexual assault case may significantly impact the rapper’s public image and career trajectory.
