Trivandrum Press Club Suspends Secretary

Thiruvananthapuram: The secretary of the Trivandrum Press Club, M Radhakrishnan stepped down from the position three days after allegations of harassment surfaced against him.

The association today suspended his primary membership following the case against him.

Earlier, journalists across various media organisations marched to the Trivandrum Press Club building, demanding action against him.

Police arrested M Radhakrishnan on Friday, after a woman colleague filed a complaint against him for allegedly barging into her house and misbehaving with her.

He was angry that a male friend had visited her at a late hour, according to the complaint.

He was suspended by his media organisation last week.

Journalist-cum-writer BRP Bhaskar relinquished his honorary membership of the Trivandrum Press Club protesting the delay in action against Radhakrishnan.
