Jana Sena Legislator Arava Sridhar Accused of Sexual Exploitation in Tirupati
A significant political controversy has erupted in Andhra Pradesh as a woman has leveled serious sexual exploitation allegations against Jana Sena Party legislator Arava Sridhar. The accusations, made public through a selfie video released on social media on Tuesday, have sent shockwaves through political circles in the state.
Details of the Allegations in the Viral Video
In the video, the woman alleges that MLA Arava Sridhar, who represents the Railway Koduru assembly constituency, exploited and cheated her over an extended period. She claims that she initially approached the MLA seeking assistance for employment opportunities, but instead of helping, he used the situation to threaten and pressure her.
The woman further alleges that Sridhar subjected her to repeated physical exploitation during this time. She states that she became pregnant as a result and was later forced to undergo an abortion against her will, adding a grave dimension to the accusations.
Threats and Marital Pressure Alleged
According to the woman's testimony in the video, the MLA demanded that she divorce her husband, who works in the IT sector. When she refused this demand, Sridhar allegedly contacted her husband directly and issued threats against them both.
"I approached the MLA seeking help for employment. Instead, he used the situation to threaten and pressurise me, and demanded that I divorce my husband," she stated in the video recording.
The woman claims that the MLA's actions created serious differences in her marriage and that when she confronted him about the situation, he insisted she must obey him because of his position as a legislator.
Political Implications and Current Status
The allegations come at a sensitive time in Andhra Pradesh politics and have created considerable stir within political circles. As of now, MLA Arava Sridhar has not publicly reacted to or responded to the serious allegations made against him.
The case highlights ongoing concerns about the abuse of power by elected representatives and the vulnerability of individuals seeking assistance from public officials. The viral nature of the allegations through social media adds a contemporary dimension to how such accusations can quickly gain public attention and scrutiny.
Observers are watching closely to see how the Jana Sena Party and other political entities in Andhra Pradesh respond to these serious allegations against one of their elected representatives.
