PALAKKAD: A probe by the police on the incident of finding a new born baby abandoned observed that the baby’s mother was sexually harassed. She lodged a complaint stating that she was sexually abused at the party office of the CPM. Palakkad district police chief said that based on the complaint, the Mangara police had registered a case and handed it over to Cherpulasseri police for investigation.

The baby was found abandoned at Nagaripuram in Mannur on March 16. Her complaint mentioned that she was sexually harassed by a youth organisation activist at the party office in Cherpulasseri. She revealed that she was sexually abused when the two who were studying together in a private college used to come to the party office for some work of their college magazine. Both the mother and the baby have been shifted to the hospital.

However, the CPM said they are not aware of the complaint and this was part of a conspiracy ahead of Lok Sabha polls.
