TVK candidate booked for alleged sexual harassment; police launch probe in Tiruvallur
CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu Police have registered a case against a candidate of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) following allegations of sexual harassment, triggering political controversy in the state
A case has been filed against Prakash alias Kutty, the TVK candidate from the Poonamallee Assembly constituency, under multiple sections, including Section 6, and an investigation has been initiated in the Tiruvallur district.
Prakash currently serves as the party’s Tiruvallur South district secretary.
According to police, the case stems from a complaint filed by a woman who is a party executive. In her complaint, she alleged that Prakash sexually harassed her during a wedding reception held in Tiruvallur around six months ago. The event was attended by several TVK leaders, including the party’s general secretary Anand, along with district-level office bearers.
The complainant reportedly stated that she had initially raised the issue within the party leadership at the time of the incident. However, despite assurances that action would be taken, no steps were allegedly initiated by the party.
