A woman identified as Devi, the daughter-in-law of DMK Minister Rajendran’s (who is the Minister of Tourism and Tourism Development Corporation of Tamil Nadu) brother, has publicly alleged that she has been subjected to harassment by members of the minister’s family. She made the allegations while speaking to reporters in Salem.
According to Devi, assurances about housing were given at the time of her marriage, but she has allegedly been forced to live in rented accommodation for years. She stated that she has changed eight rented houses over the past eight years due to the situation.
When questioned about the timing of her press interaction, given that a related property dispute is currently pending before a family court, Devi said she had been struggling for several months and had approached the police and the Superintendent of Police’s office multiple times without receiving support. She further alleged that she and her family members had been threatened and that she was being prevented from seeing her child.
Responding to suggestions that her public statements were aimed at seeking money, Devi denied the claim. She also rejected allegations that she had demanded ₹2 crore as part of a divorce-related settlement. Devi said discussions about any settlement would arise only after the divorce case is concluded and maintained that any compensation must be decided through legal proceedings.
The matter is understood to be under consideration before the family court. There has been no immediate response from Minister Rajendran or his family members at the time of reporting.
