Ramesh, a local TVK party leader, has been arrested following serious accusations from a 25-year-old woman in Kulithalai.
She says he harassed her for months and tried to abduct her.
According to her complaint, Ramesh made inappropriate comments outside her workplace and followed her home, with things escalating when he allegedly attempted to kidnap her.
Woman's family alleges police delayed action
