Complaint filed against CPM leader for sexual misconduct

A CONGRESS leader has filed a complaint against former minister and CPM leader Kadakampally Surendran for alleged sexual misconduct against an ex-employee of the UAE consulate in what appears to be a move meant to help the party box out of the conundrum brought about by the Rahul Mamkootathil episode.

In a tit-for-tat response to the police registering a case against Rahul on charges of stalking women, M Muneer, vice-president of Thiruvananthapuram district Congress committee, filed a complaint with the state police chief seeking action against Kadakampally for sexually harassing a former staff member of the UAE consulate in Thiruvananthapuram.

The complainant said the victim, who had also worked on a contractual basis under the IT department, gave interviews to the media in October 2022 alleging that Kadakampally had sexually misbehaved with her.
