Kerala Congress MLA M Vincent was on Saturday July 22,2017 arrested on charges of rape and stalking after a 51-year-old woman tried to commit suicide, alleging "sexual harassment" by him.
The woman's husband had alleged that Vincent's conversation with his wife abetted her to take the extreme step. After registering a case of abetment to suicide against the MLA, the police took woman's statement and booked Vincent under sections pertaining to rape and stalking, too.
According to police, the incident occurred on Wednesday afternoon when the woman allegedly consumed excess sleeping pills, following which she had to be rushed to a private hospital.
Her husband had also alleged that Vincent had been harassing his wife over the phone for the past several months.
The MLA has, since the very beginning, maintained that it was all hogwash and a "political conspiracy" against him. He had also demanded a detailed probe into the allegations levelled against him.
He had claimed that a CPI (M) local leader was present at the woman's house when she attempted suicide by consuming sleeping pills. Her brother is also a Marxist activist.
