Tamil Nadu Deputy Speaker Pollachi V. Jayaraman on Tuesday urged Chief Electoral Officer Satyabrata Sahoo to investigate and take action against those who are allegedly spreading rumours against him and his family in the Pollachi serial sexual assault and blackmail case.
Briefing journalists at the Secretariat after submitting a representation to the CEO, Mr. Jayaraman reiterated his claim that the DMK was behind attempts to defame him and the AIADMK ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
Stating that he was the one who had brought the scandal to the notice of the police, he said the complainant in the case “has today released an audio” and her brother released a video clip on Monday. “Both have made it clear that I was the one who supported them through this traumatic period,” he claimed.
Mr. Jayaraman alleged that the DMK had politicised the issue after the Lok Sabha elections were notified.
