Allegations Against Ganesh Kumar
“The police failed to record the accuser’s statement or ensure her safety,” stated V.D. Satheeshan, highlighting the serious nature of the allegations against Ganesh Kumar. On March 9, 2026, Bindhu Menon publicly accused her husband, Ganesh Kumar, of infidelity and domestic harassment, claiming she caught him ‘red-handed’ with another woman on March 7, 2026.
The accusations have led to significant political fallout, with Jeby Mather, an MP, calling for Ganesh Kumar’s ousting from the Cabinet. The Kerala Students Union has also taken action, petitioning the State Police Chief to file charges against him for domestic violence.
In response to the allegations, Ganesh Kumar has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, labeling the claims as a political witch-hunt. “My personal life is mine. The people of Pathanapuram know me well like the back of their hand,” he asserted, emphasizing his long-standing political career as an MLA for five consecutive terms.
Ganesh Kumar further criticized R Sreelekha, questioning her authority to interfere in his personal affairs. “Who is Sreelekha, after all, to interfere in my personal life?” he remarked, indicating his frustration with the ongoing scrutiny.
Bindhu Menon has alleged that during the incident, Ganesh Kumar’s staff attempted to take her mobile phone, raising concerns about her safety and the handling of the situation by the police. V.D. Satheeshan has demanded an explanation from Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan regarding the police’s inaction in this matter.
Ganesh Kumar has also claimed that he has had several affairs and is open about them, further complicating the narrative surrounding his personal life. “Such slander campaigns in my case coincide with Assembly election cycles,” he noted, suggesting a politically motivated agenda behind the allegations.
As the situation develops, the political implications of these allegations continue to unfold, with various parties calling for accountability and action. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the next steps in this ongoing controversy.
