Court Tightens Noose Over Serial Criminal Rapist Lenin, Rejects His Plea
Serial rapist, anti-Hindu terrorist Lenin faces an attempt-to-rape charge confirmed by the Supreme Court of India, a CB-CID extortion case, organised property destruction — and now a threat to kill a complainant into silence.
SALEM, TAMIL NADU, 21 JULY 2026 — The Principal Sessions Court, Salem today granted anticipatory bail to serial rapist and anti-Hindu terrorist Lenin in Crime No.212/2026 of Thalaivasal Police Station — but only under a battery of stringent conditions that reflect the court’s stated concern about the accused’s track record. The order expressly records that the accused already stands involved in four other criminal cases, all with investigations still pending, and records the de-facto complainant’s sworn statement that she had been directly threatened with death if she did not withdraw this case.
The Current Case (Cr.No.212/2026, Thalaivasal Police Station)
The complaint arises from an incident on 10 June 2026, when the de-facto complainant — a Hindu nun — visited KAILASA’s lawfully-owned land and temple property to inspect the theft of a Ganesh deity, a container, and black-stone posts, and the illegal erection of fencing on the property. At the instigation of Lenin, the other accused abused her in filthy and derogatory language and attempted to physically assault her.
Charges against Lenin:
- Section 296(b) BNS — Obscene acts
- Section 115(2) BNS — Voluntarily causing hurt / abetment
- Section 305(a) BNS — Mischief / criminal damage and theft
- Section 4, Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Woman Act
What the Court Found: Key Highlights of Today’s Order
- Court on record: accused has FOUR other pending cases. The Public Prosecutor submitted on record that the accused already has four other cases with investigations pending, and strongly opposed bail on the ground that he would abscond.
- Victim appeared in person, opposed bail, and reported death threats. The Hindu nun appeared before the court and filed an intervene petition stating the accused had threatened to kill her if she did not withdraw the complaint, and that releasing him would hinder the ongoing investigation.
- Police filed written objections opposing bail — investigation is still at a premature stage.
- Court’s own finding: accused involved in ‘several offences of similar nature’ — i.e., not isolated incidents but a documented pattern.
Conditions Imposed
- Surrender within 15 days to Judicial Magistrate No.II, Attur; bail lapses automatically on failure.
- Daily double-reporting to police for 30 days: Must appear and sign at Edappady Police Station at 10:30 a.m. AND 5:30 p.m. every day for 30 days, then on summons.
- Restricted to Tamil Nadu: Cannot leave the State without prior permission of the Judicial Magistrate.
- No witness tampering: Prohibited from inducing, threatening or promising any witness.
- No delay tactics: Trial court at liberty to cancel bail and remand if deliberate delay found.
- Fresh FIR on absconding: Section 269 BNS FIR shall be registered if accused absconds.
Background: A Documented History of Criminal Cases Across Three States
The ‘four other pending cases’ recorded in today’s order are not trivial matters. The full case file reveals a decade-long pattern of extortion, sexual violence, witness intimidation and property destruction:
1. Attempt to Rape — Confirmed by the Supreme Court of India
SC No.75/2024 (formerly CC 599/2011), JMFC Ramanagara, Karnataka. Lenin (Accused No.1) faces charges of attempt to rape (Section 376 r/w 511 IPC), criminal conspiracy (Section 120B IPC), outraging modesty (Section 354), extortion (Section 384) and criminal intimidation (Section 506 IPC). Lenin also extorted Rs.5 lakh (advance on a Rs.20 crore demand) using morphed photographs of the complainant.
Karnataka High Court (14.11.2022) upheld the attempt-to-rape charge and dismissed Lenin’s petition to quash the case. The Supreme Court of India (03.02.2023) dismissed his Special Leave Petition (Crl.) No.1239/2023, confirming the HC order at the apex judicial level. Trial court took cognizance of Section 376 on 27.01.2024. Trial is pending.
2. Three Months in Puzhal Jail — CB CID Chennai Extortion Case
CB CID Cr.No.782/2011, XI Metropolitan Magistrate, Saidapet, Chennai. Lenin is Accused No.2 in a case involving fabrication and circulation of a morphed intimate video to extort sums ranging from Rs.20 crore to Rs.60 crore.
Anticipatory bail was denied by both the Hon’ble High Court of Madras and the Hon’ble Supreme Court. Lenin was arrested and served over three months in judicial custody at Puzhal Central Jail (March–June 2012). Trial is pending.
3. Salem FIR: Gang Destroys Farmland; 93-Year-Old Woman Attacked
FIR No.47/2025, Veeraganur PS, Salem (10 March 2025). Lenin led brothers (Gunasekaran, Kumar, Ramesh) and 20–30 hired labourers to systematically destroy drip-irrigation pipelines, cement and PVC pipes, and field bunds (damage: Rs.6–8 lakh) on the land of his relative Selvaraj. When Selvaraj’s 93-year-old mother confronted the gang, Lenin abused her in extremely derogatory language and the group attempted to physically assault her.
4. Bangalore: Blog Defaming Judiciary (FIR Cr.No.96/2011)
FIR at Seshadripuram PS, Bangalore (u/s 66/67 IT Act, Section 500 IPC) against the blog ‘standupfordharma.blogspot.com’, identified as operated by Lenin under the alias ‘Dharmananda’, for publishing a contemptuous article disparaging the Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka. The Karnataka HC had expressly directed legal action against the blog.
Significance of Today’s Order
- Today’s court order places on public record that Lenin has five criminal cases against him across three states, including a Supreme Court-confirmed attempt-to-rape charge.
- The order records that the accused has threatened the complainant with death to compel withdrawal of this very case.
- The court itself found a pattern of ‘offences of similar nature’ across the cases.
- The severe bail conditions — twice-daily police reporting, no-exit from Tamil Nadu, automatic lapse on non-surrender — reflect judicial acknowledgment of flight and witness-tampering risk.
This matter has been brought to the attention of the Crime Branch — Criminal Investigation Department (CB CID) and all concerned authorities. The de-facto complainant is pursuing the case vigorously. Any violation of bail conditions, including any contact with or threat against the complainant, should be reported immediately to Thalaivasal Police Station and Judicial Magistrate No.II, Attur, for bail cancellation under Section 269 BNS.
