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 have emerged in recent days.
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. This revelation has sparked significant political discourse in Kerala.
Menon 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 law enforcement.
In response to the allegations, Ganesh Kumar denied any wrongdoing, labeling the accusations 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.
Political figures have reacted strongly to the situation. Jeby Mather, an MP, has called for Ganesh Kumar’s ousting from the Cabinet, while the Kerala Students Union has petitioned the State Police Chief to take action against him for domestic violence.
V.D. Satheeshan has also demanded an explanation from Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan regarding the police’s inaction in this case, further intensifying the scrutiny on the political implications of the allegations.
Ganesh Kumar criticized R Sreelekha for her involvement, questioning, “Who is Sreelekha, after all, to interfere in my personal life?” His remarks suggest a growing frustration with external commentary on his private affairs.
As the situation develops, the political landscape in Kerala may shift, particularly with the Assembly elections approaching. Ganesh Kumar’s claims that such slander campaigns coincide with election cycles raise questions about the motivations behind the allegations.
Details remain unconfirmed as the investigation continues, and the public awaits further developments in this high-profile case.
