MUMBAI: An audio clip surfaced in which Binoy Kodiyeri, son of CPM state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, is heard trying for a compromise with the woman who filed a sexual abuse case against him.

Binoy was claiming that the woman was trying to blackmail him and that he had done no wrong.

33-year-old Mumbai-based woman had filed an FIR last month alleging that Binoy had sexually abused her for several years on the promise of marriage and has an eight-year-old child from that relationship.

In the audio clip aired, which is in Hindi, he is heard asking the woman not to do anything in a hurry and that things will be settled according to her wishes. He also told her not to reveal his name.

He says that when the issue is settled, she should remove the word Kodiyeri from her name from all the records including passport and bank accounts. The notice sent via an advocate had demanded an amount of Rs 5 crore. Binoy told her that he cannot pay so much amount. The woman then said she does not want any money but he should ensure that he provides appropriate money for his son. The audio ends when he says he will take care of all her demands.

This conversation took place in January this year after the woman served a legal notice on him in December. After getting no response, she filed a complaint with the police in Mumbai.

After being on the run for some time, Binoy got bail on the condition that he should undergo a DNA test while cooperating with the police investigation.

But on three occasions, he failed to undergo a DNA test. This week he approached the Bombay High Court seeking to quash the FIR.

According to the complaint, the woman entered into a relationship with him while working at a dance bar in Dubai in 2008 and till 2015 he used to send her money every month.

She filed the FIR after coming to know that Binoy was already married.
