CHENNAI: The Chennai City Police will question founder leader of Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK), actor and director Seeman on the sexual abuse complaint of actress Vijayalakshmi. Her complaint filed at the Chennai City Police Commissioner alleged that he cheated her on the pretext of marriage. Though Seeman was directed to appear for questioning yesterday, he failed to appear citing inconvenience. He later informed to appear on Tuesday.

A case was registered against Seeman under sections including fraud and the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Rape against Women. Vijayalakshmi had also recently given a statement before the magistrate in Tiruvallur.

Vijayalakshmi had approached the police with the same allegation in 2011. Vijayalakshmi had said that no investigation was done during the AIADMK government was in power, but she filed the complaint again because she had faith in the DMK government. After filing a complaint at the Commissioner's office, she said that her goal was to bring Seeman, who did not respect women, to justice.
