Former AIADMK minister M Manikandan is facing charges of sexual harassment.
Chennai:
The Madras High Court on Wednesday rejected a plea from the counsel for former AIADMK minister M Manikandan, who was apprehending arrest following registration of a sexual harassment complaint from a Malaysia-based woman, to extend the operation of a direction of another judge directing the police to not arrest him till June 9.
While entertaining the criminal original petition from Manikandan, seeking anticipatory bail and ordering notice to the parties, Justice R Subramanian on June 2 had adjourned the matter till June 9. Till then the petitioner should not be arrested, the judge had said.
The actress had recently filed a police complaint alleging that the former minister had sexually abused her and forced her to abort. The Chennai police had registered a case on her complaint.
The actor had filed a complaint at the Chennai Police Commissioner’s office, accusing Manikandan of luring her into a relationship on the promise of marriage.
