Allegations Against 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. Bindhu Menon, Kumar’s wife, accused him of infidelity and domestic harassment, claiming she caught him ‘red-handed’ with another woman on March 7, 2026.
In response to the allegations, Ganesh Kumar denied any wrongdoing, asserting that the accusations are part of a political witch-hunt. “My personal life is mine. The people of Pathanapuram know me well like the back of their hand,” he remarked, emphasizing his long-standing political career as a five-term MLA.
The political ramifications of these accusations have been significant. 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 take action against him for domestic violence. These developments have prompted V.D. Satheeshan to demand an explanation from Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan regarding the police’s inaction in this case.
Ganesh Kumar has also criticized R Sreelekha, suggesting that her interference in his personal life is unwarranted. He claimed, “Who is Sreelekha, after all, to interfere in my personal life?” This statement reflects his frustration with the scrutiny he is facing amid the allegations.
Moreover, Bindhu Menon alleged that during the incident, Kumar’s staff attempted to take her mobile phone, raising concerns about her safety and the handling of the situation. Kumar, however, has maintained that he is open about his affairs, stating, “I have several affairs and am honest about them.”
As the situation unfolds, the political landscape in Kerala is closely watching the developments surrounding Ganesh Kumar. The allegations not only impact his personal life but also have broader implications for his political career and the upcoming Assembly elections.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the specific actions that will be taken by the authorities or the political parties involved as they navigate this contentious issue.
