Actress Shweta Menon alleges molestation, Congress MP denies Actress Shweta Menon was allegedly molested by an elected representative from the area at a function in Kollam, sparking strong protests from the Malayalam film fraternity and women outfits, which demanded stern action against the politician. Though Shweta did not reveal the identity of the politician who allegedly harassed her at the Presidents Trophy boat race on Friday evening, media footage showed Congress MP N Peethambara Kurup from the area touching her but the lawmaker today strongly denied having committed such an act. The actress, however, stood by her charge. Speaking to reporters in Kochi, she said, I was really humiliated. I stand by the statement I made yesterday. Police are yet to register a case in connection with the incident, based either on the complaint the actress claimed to have orally made to the District Collector or by taking note of media reports. However, Chief Minister Oommen Chandy is learnt to have spoken to the Collector on the incident. It is totally untrue. I am telling this since my name has come up in a section of the media in connection with the incident, 73-year-old Kurup, representing Kollam in the Lok Sabha, told the media persons on Saturday.
