The actress, in her six-page petition, had alleged that Manikandan first approached her on the pretext of investing in Malaysia since she worked for the Malaysian Tourism department then and they developed a relationship over a period. She has appeared in a couple of movies in supporting roles.

The actress had alleged that she became pregnant thrice and was forced to abort by Manikandan as he claimed that he would marry her after formally divorcing his wife.

“As Manikandan is at large, his residences in Chennai and Ramanathapuram are under police radar. We are looking for him,” police said.
