Kerala Transport Minister KB Ganesh Kumar's wife, Bindhu Menon, has levelled serious allegations of infidelity against him. This comes after he denied all the rumours regarding the matter circulating on social media.
While speaking to a news channel, Menon claimed that she faced marital issues with Kumar since their marriage in 2014. The Kerala Congress (B) leader tied the knot after legally separating from Yamini Thankachy.
According to Kerala Kaumudi, Menon even spoke about reports of seeing her husband in a compromising situation, stating that she saw something that no wife should ever have to see. She even claimed to have photographs as evidence, adding that she had informed all this to the Chief Minister's daughter.
"I am completely alone. I used to fight with him over his relationships with many women. Ganesh controls me by saying that I too have relationships. Therefore, he had blocked my phone for two months... We have been living apart for two months," Kerala Kaumudi quoted Menon as saying.
