Police have recorded the statement of actor Vijayalakshmi who gave a fresh complaint against the NTK chief co-ordinator alleging that he had cheated her — having a relationship with her on promise of marrying her.
Ms. Vijaylakshmi had lodged a similar complaint against Mr. Seeman with the Ramapuram police in 2011. Police lodged an FIR against Mr. Seeman under sections — 420 (Cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property), 354 (Any man who assaults or uses criminal force to any woman), 376 (Punishment for rape), 506(i) (Criminal Intimidation) of Indian Penal Code.
