Mahila Morcha leader petitions child rights panel

EVEN as fresh phone conversations emerged on Saturday that allegedly revealed Palakkad MLA Rahul Mamkootathil pressuring a young woman into an abortion, the BJP Mahila Morcha district leader Aswathy Manikandan has filed petitions with multiple child rights bodies, accusing the legislator of grave misconduct and the forcible termination of the woman's pregnancy.

Aswathy has approached the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR), the Kerala State Commission for Protection of Child Rights and the Palakkad District Women Protection Office, demanding urgent action against the MLA.

In her petition, Aswathy cited the leaked phone conversations, screenshots, and audio clips circulating on social media as damning evidence of the MLA's misconduct.
