Press Trust of India New Delhi
Expelled AIADMK MP Sasikala Pushpa today denied allegations of threatening one of the two women who had accused her husband and son of sexual harassment.

Bhanumathi, a domestic help who was employed by Pushpa, had filed a police complaint last year alleging that she and her sister were sexually harassed by Pushpa's husband T Lingesvara Thilakan and son L Pradeep Raja.

"Bhanumathi, who had gone missing, reached the DGP office and filed a complaint against me for threatening her to withdraw the sexual harassment case. This is false and fabricated. I am not involved in the episode as I am in Delhi on Parliament work," Pushpa claimed in a complaint to the Tamil Nadu DGP.
 

Bhanumathi (22), a resident of Tirunelveli district in Tamil Nadu, had reportedly been missing since Wednesday night.
