A woman lodged a complaint at the Odanchathiram district police station concerning a member of the DMK party named Prabhu from Dindugal. In her complaint, she alleged that Prabhu had subjected her to sexual harassment and had sent her explicit audio and video materials.
Saroja, a resident of Kasturi Nagar in Odanchathiram, has been widowed for a decade. She has a son with a disability and a daughter in good health. Saroja is the primary provider for her family, working daily wage jobs. Recently, it has come to light that Saroja sought assistance from Prabhu, a member of the DMK who is from Gandhinagar, for her son with a disability. Unfortunately, Prabhu misused her contact information to harass her by sending unwanted messages.
Saroja explained, “I reached out to him because of his affiliation with DMK, but he abused my contact details by frequently calling me. Consequently, I blocked him. Nevertheless, he proceeded to send me indecent videos and audio messages. He also subjected me to torture through video calls, causing me to become depressed. As a result, I filed a complaint at the Odanchathiram police station and requested protection.”
She further said, “The DMK member, Prabhu, also threatened me, stating that he would use his influence to harm me if I didn’t comply with his inappropriate demands. He also threatened to kill my children“.
The misuse of authority by DMK member Prabhu when responding to the plea for help from a vulnerable woman has sparked apprehensions regarding the safety of women during the DMK’s governance.
It is notable that, a commotion erupted during a Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam meeting in Chennai attended by DMK MP Kanimozhi, Tamilachi Thangapandian MP, and Virugambakkam MLA Prabhakar Raja after police attempted to detain two DMK functionaries for allegedly molesting a female police constable.
