R. Vikraman, a self-proclaimed ‘journalist’ who later took refuge in Thol. Thirumavalavan’s Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) a few months ago, has been accused of sexual harassing a man under the pretext of conducting an audition.
Requesting anonymity, a man had shared his experience with a meme page on Instagram in which he narrates how Galatta Vikraman pushed him to the bed and sexually harassed him.
“He called me in the name of audition to a house and made me act. Then he pushed me to the bed and sexually harassed me. I couldn’t do anything at that time. His friends later called and scolded him”, the person had said in his message.
‘Galatta’ Vikraman had allegedly called the person to a house for an audition supposedly for a movie related to Jallikattu. The person stated that he was made to remove his shirt and walk like a machismo. “He put away my shirt in a cupboard and locked it. I had to struggle to get my shirt back from him”, the person said.
The person further went on to say “He (Vikraman) later begged me to not disclose this incident to anyone and that he would help me get a chance in films. Then he blocked me. I couldn’t do anything as many told me that he has many political connections and knows several bigshots. They told me that I won’t be able to do anything to him”.
He stated that as he was interested in acting, he had gone to the place Vikraman had called and that after this traumatic experience, he has stopped giving auditions and is staying away from the media industry.
The person also said in his message that he shared this as many were coming out in the open and sharing their experience. “My friends, parents and even my sister knows about this incident”, he said in his message and further added that he still has ‘Galatta’ Vikraman’s number.
As it was not clear if the person was a man/woman in the beginning of the conversation, the admin of the meme page had asked the person’s sex to which the person replied that he was a boy. According to the victim, Vikraman is allegedly a gay.
