Kerala BJP Vice President C Krishnakumar denied sexual harassment allegations made by a woman relative on 27 Aug 2025. He said the charges are false and linked to a family property dispute. Krishnakumar claimed the case was dismissed by courts in July 2024. He called the complaint a political conspiracy to distract from protests against Congress MLA Rahul Mamkootathil, who faces similar accusations. The woman had complained to BJP state chief Rajeev Chandrasekhar, but Krishnakumar said no party action was taken. He said he will legally fight the allegations and continue protests against Mamkootathil in Palakkad. Mamkootathil was suspended from Congress after sexual harassment claims by actress Rini Ann George and others. Krishnakumar has been a BJP leader in Palakkad for years and recently contested against Mamkootathil in a by-election. (Updated 27 Aug 2025, 20:49 IST; source: link)
