In the book, Nisha does not reveal the man’s identity or the date of her travel. But Shone George, son of P C George, MLA, maintains that through her writing she seeks to mark him as the man who allegedly harassed her.

Shone alleges in the complaint to the DGP that, following her allegation, a social media propaganda is being carried and claimed it to be a politically motivated move to publically defame him and his father.

Shone affirms that he has never misbehaved with Nisha or insulted her. He has demanded an independent probe into this incident in the book to determine its validity.

‘The other side of this life’ is the title of the recently published book by Nisha Jose, daughter-in-law of former state minister K M Mani. In the book she says, while waiting at the railway station a man introduced himself to her and during the train journey, sat next to her and started talking.

Nisha claims in her book that though she dropped polite hints that she was sleepy, he paid no heed and went rambling on.

“I discreetly went to the TTR (ticket examiner) and expressed my plight, requesting him to help me out by getting this ‘gentleman’ to leave my seat.”

The official said “If this ‘gentleman’ is anything like his father I dare not intervene,” Nisha states in the book released on Thursday.

She sat as far as she could, she said.

“Occasionally his hand would accidentally brush past my toes as he shifted his position. And every time he did so accidentally, I was uncomfortable and felt violated.”

“I firmly asked him to leave. However, my decency made me explain that I had to get off the train in just two hours or so, considerately making no mention of his impropriety,” she writes in her book.

Legal action has been sought by Shone against those who have humiliated him through social media.
