Daughter of TN minister seeks protection from B’luru police

Bengaluru: Tamil Nadu Minister and close confidante of Chief Minister MK Stalin, PK Sekar Babu’s daughter approached Bengaluru Police Commissioner for seeking protection from her father.

Jayakalyani, daughter of the state Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Minister, P.K. Sekar Babu, has submitted a memorandum to the Police Commissioner Kamal Pant seeking protection.

Addressing presspersons Jayakalyani said that she was in love with Satish Kumar since many years which her family opposed.

“My parents have objected to my love towards Satish Kumar. When I attempted to get married to him couple of months ago, the police arrested him and took him into custody for two months,” she added.

“I suspect the role of my father behind this. I am an adult. We both love each other and have got married,” Jayakalyani said.

“We were given death threats if we return to Tamil Nadu, therefore we have approached Bengaluru Police Commissioner seeking protection,” she added.

Hindu activist Bharath Shetty said the couple approached them on social media seeking help to get married.

“We organized a marriage ceremony as per Hindu tradition. They have been given life threats from the girl’s family and hence they are requesting for security from the Bengaluru police, he added.
