Amid allegations of sexting and obscene behaviour raised by multiple women against Rahul Mamkootathil, the Congress MLA from Palakkad, Kerala, now a trans woman identified as Avanthika has also levelled allegations against the politician.
In multiple interviews with various Malayalam news channels, the trans woman claimed that Rahul first contacted her on Messenger and obtained phone number from her. She alleged that Rahul messaged her, saying he wanted to 'rape' her. He also asked her to meet in Bengaluru or Hyderabad, the trans woman claimed. However, she claimed that he messaged her on Telegram and chats would disappear after it is read.
This comes after Malayalam writer Honey Bhaskaran alleged that Rahul initiated a conversation with her on Instagram but later made derogatory remarks about her to his peers, telling them that it was she who messaged him first and twisted their conversation in lewd ways.
Calling it a psychological perversion, Honey alleged that after chatting with women, Rahul would demean them in front of his colleagues and tell them sexually coloured stories about the victims.
Honey claim that Rahul has reached out many of her friends, adding that they will also file complaints. "He tells every woman that she is the only one he loves, while saying the same to others. Some of my friends have experienced it themselves," she claimed.
