The Tiruvallur city police has registered a six-section case against Poonamallee Assembly constituency Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam candidate Prakash alias Kutty for allegedly sexually harassing a woman functionary at an event attended by TVK general secretary Bussy Anand.
Prakash, popularly known as Kutty, is currently serving as the Tiruvallur South District Secretary of TVK. He was recently announced as the party’s candidate for the Poonamallee constituency when actor Vijay released the list of TVK candidates.
The alleged incident took place during a wedding reception held a few months ago in Tiruvallur, which was attended by state broadcaster TVK’s general secretary Bussy Anand. Several party functionaries, including Prakash, were present at the event.
During the event, Prakash allegedly engaged in sexually harassing a member of the party’s women’s wing, prompting a complaint. On Tuesday (March 31, 2026), the victim, accompanied by her husband, lodged a complaint with the Tiruvallur District Police Office seeking action against Prakash.
Based on her complaint, the Tiruvallur city police registered a case against Mr. Prakash and started an investigation. Meanwhile, Prakash’s wife has also filed a counter-complaint in the SP’s office, claiming that the allegations are false and were leveled due to denial of a party post, and has sought an action against the complainant. Both complaints are under investigation, police said.
