Chennai: Former AIADMK minister M Manikandan has been arrested by Chennai City Police after a Malaysian woman accused him of rape. The complaint was filed two weeks ago at the Adyar women’s police station and in the complaint, it was stated that the woman worked as an actor and had been in a relationship with Manikandan for years.
Manikandan was alleged to have impregnated her multiple times and then had forced her to abort by threatening her. According to the victim, Manikandan lured her into the relationship by promising to marry her. He has been charged under multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), which includes rape, inducing miscarriage, and cheating.
