Malayalam cine actor Shweta Menon, who chose not to proceed further after accusing a Congress MP of molesting her, had claimed in her statement to the police that she was repeatedly touched by him.

In her statement, lodged in a court here as part of the FIR in the case, she had said the MP, N Peethambara Kurup, started touching her and grasped her hand as soon as she alighted from the car on reaching the venue of the President's Trophy boat race here last Friday.
