Palakkad MLA and Youth Congress State President Rahul Mamkootathil has landed in a major controversy, with multiple women accusing him of outraging their modesty through sexually coloured messages.
Honey Bhaskaran's allegations, aired via a Facebook post, against the MLA came hours after Malayalam actor Rini Ann George alleged that a young politician had sent her offensive messages. However, she neither named the leader nor his political party.
Honey, in her post, claimed that Rahul initiated a conversation with her on Instagram and later made derogatory remarks about her to others.
Honey said she had no personal acquaintance with Rahul until June 9, when he initiated a conversation with her on Instagram during her Sri Lanka trip. According to her, Rahul reacted to one of her photos and asked about her travel details, before casually shifting the conversation to political predictions about the Nilambur byelection. Honey said she sensed inappropriate intent in his continued messaging and chose not to respond further. “I never thought of insulting someone over a civil conversation, but later I came to know through his own Youth Congress associates that he had twisted the story, saying I had initiated the chat and that this was a habit of mine. That shows what kind of man he really is.”
Honey alleged that Rahul habitually misrepresents his interactions with women in lewd ways among his peers. “He talks about women he has chatted with, ridicules them in male company, and spins vulgar tales. This isn’t just misconduct — it is psychological perversion,” she said.
Honey alleged that Rahul has approached several other women in similar ways. "I know many of his victims, and more will come forward with complaints. He tells every woman that she is the only one he loves, while saying the same to others. Some of my friends have experienced this themselves. These women believe him, but I feel it is my responsibility to tell people the truth," she said.
She further alleged that Congress MP Shafi Parambil has been protecting Rahul. "Many people have complained to Shafi, but he never took action. I am not considering legal steps now, but if Rahul has the courage, let him file a defamation case against me," Honey added.
