Allegations Surface
“The police failed to record the accuser’s statement or ensure her safety,” stated V.D. Satheeshan, highlighting the inaction of law enforcement in the wake of serious allegations against Ganesh Kumar. The accusations, which include claims of infidelity and domestic harassment, were made public on March 9, 2026, following an incident that allegedly occurred two days prior.
Bindhu Menon, Ganesh Kumar’s wife, asserted that she caught him ‘red-handed’ with another woman, prompting her to bring the matter to light. The situation escalated quickly, with political figures demanding accountability and action.
In response to the allegations, Jeby Mather, a Member of Parliament, called for Ganesh Kumar’s ousting from the Cabinet. Meanwhile, the Kerala Students Union has petitioned the State Police Chief to take action against him for domestic violence. These developments have intensified scrutiny on Kumar’s political career.
Ganesh Kumar, who has been elected as MLA for five consecutive terms, vehemently denied the allegations, labeling them as a political witch-hunt. “My personal life is mine. The people of Pathanapuram know me well like the back of their hand,” he stated, defending his reputation amid the unfolding controversy.
Further Developments
Kumar also criticized R Sreelekha, questioning her authority to interfere in his personal matters. He claimed that he has had several affairs but is honest about them, suggesting that the timing of these allegations coincides with the Assembly election cycles.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the specific actions taken by law enforcement following the allegations. As the situation develops, political leaders and the public are closely watching how this controversy will impact Kumar’s political future and the broader political landscape in Kerala.
