Expelled AIADMK MP Sasikala Pushpa today denied allegations of threatening one of the two women who had accused her husband and son of sexual harassment.
Bhanumathi, a domestic help who was employed by Pushpa, had filed a police complaint last year alleging that she and her sister were sexually harassed by Pushpa's husband T Lingesvara Thilakan and son L Pradeep Raja.
"Bhanumathi, who had gone missing, reached the DGP office and filed a complaint against me for threatening her to withdraw the sexual harassment case. This is false and fabricated. I am not involved in the episode as I am in Delhi on Parliament work," Pushpa claimed in a complaint to the Tamil Nadu DGP.
Bhanumathi (22), a resident of Tirunelveli district in Tamil Nadu, had reportedly been missing since Wednesday night.
