The trans woman’s allegations came against Congress MLA Rahul Mamkootathil shortly after Malayalam actor Rini Ann George accused him of sending her offensive messages.
After harassment allegations by Malayalam actor Rini Ann George, a trans woman has levelled serious charges against Congress MLA Rahul Mamkootathil, claiming that he told her he “wanted to rape” her.
She claimed that he told her that he wanted to “do it” in Bengaluru or Hyderabad.
This comes a day after Rini George accused him of sending her offensive messages on multiple occasions, claiming that he had invited her to a hotel. She had also warned him of informing his party; however, he allegedly continued his behaviour. On Thursday, Mamkootathil resigned as the president of the Youth Congress’s Kerala unit; however, he denied any wrongdoing on his part.
A trans woman, identified as Avanthika, claimed that he had messaged her that he wanted to rape her.
“I think he is sexually frustrated because he said he wants to rape me. He said we can go to Bengaluru or Hyderabad and do it,” she claimed.
Avanthika claimed that they had met in a debate during the elections, after which he reached out to her on social media.
“It started as a normal friendship, but he later made it a disgusting experience,” she said.
In television interviews with Malayalam news channels, the trans woman claimed that he first sought her phone number on Messenger and after getting it, he messaged her on Telegram, where chats would disappear once they’re read, The Week reported.
