Controversy Surrounds Ganesh Kumar
“The police failed to record the accuser’s statement or ensure her safety,” stated V.D. Satheeshan, highlighting the serious allegations against Ganesh Kumar that surfaced publicly on March 9, 2026. The accusations, made by Kumar’s wife, Bindhu Menon, include claims of infidelity and domestic harassment, with Menon asserting she caught him ‘red-handed’ with another woman on March 7, 2026.
In response to the allegations, Ganesh Kumar has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, attributing the claims to political propaganda orchestrated by the Congress party. He remarked, “My personal life is mine. The people of Pathanapuram know me well like the back of their hand,” emphasizing his long-standing political career as an MLA for five consecutive terms.
As the situation unfolds, political figures have begun to weigh in. Jeby Mather, an MP, has called for Kumar’s ousting from the Cabinet, while the Kerala Students Union has petitioned the State Police Chief to initiate charges of domestic violence against him. The political ramifications are significant, with V.D. Satheeshan demanding an explanation from Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan regarding the police’s inaction in this matter.
Kumar has characterized the allegations as a “political witch-hunt,” suggesting that such slander campaigns often coincide with Assembly election cycles. He also criticized R Sreelekha for interfering in his personal life, questioning, “Who is Sreelekha, after all, to interfere in my personal life?”
Additionally, Bindhu Menon alleged that Kumar’s staff attempted to take her mobile phone during the incident, raising further concerns about her safety and the handling of the situation by authorities. Details remain unconfirmed.
The unfolding drama has not only put Ganesh Kumar’s political career at risk but has also ignited discussions about the treatment of domestic violence allegations in the political arena. As the public and political figures await further developments, the implications of this case may resonate throughout Kerala’s political landscape.
