A Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) leader named Christopher, a member of the party's central district executive committee, has been arrested in Kanyakumari for allegedly sexually harassing a second-year college student after offering her and her friend a lift during heavy rain. The incident occurred after Christopher dropped the friend in Moolachal and continued toward Kulasekaram with the complainant, during which he allegedly stopped the car and committed the assault before fleeing. The student, who studies at a private college in Nagercoil, reported the incident to her parents and later filed a complaint at Thuckalay police station along with her friend.
Christopher, who hails from Marundhukottai, had been absconding since the case was registered. Police have initiated an investigation, and Tamil Nadu Minister CT Nirmal Kumar stated that no political position would shield anyone from legal action, emphasizing that the chief minister has instructed authorities to ensure accountability without political interference.
