Jayarajan’s wife slaps legal notice on Ramesh

Thiruvananthapuram: P K Indira, wife of industries minister E P Jayarajan, sent a defamation notice against opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala. Indira’s lawyer alleged that Chennithala levelled false accusations against her based on a visit she had undertaken to a bank locker in Kannur. Chennithala sought a probe into Indira’s transaction at the locker while addressing a news conference on Tuesday.
The notice served by Kannur-based lawyer P U Shylajan demanded Ramesh to withdraw all allegations and tender a public apology within two days of receiving the notice. The lawyer said civil and criminal proceedings will be initiated and his client will seek damages of Rs 50 lakh if Chennithala doesn’t tender a public apology.
“I first thought of not responding to the allegations. But the volley of accusations has prompted me to explain the facts of the matter. The allegations levelled against my wife and daughter are without any humanitarian considerations,” Jayarajan had said in a statement on Monday. tnn
