An eight-minute video, in which an actress has alleged that a senior journalist sexually harassed her, has gone viral on social media. The 42-year-old Gayatri Sai from Tamil Nadu, alleged that Prakash M Swamy targeted her after the death of her husband in Hong Kong, in the pretext of helping her in sorting an issue with her son's passport. The harassment continued via phone and internet, according to her. “He started sending me vulgar messages on WhatsApp and threatened to defame me. He spread false stories that I killed my husband, who died of a massive heart attack. He even got a cheap, baseless story on me published in a local magazine,” she said in a live video on Facebook. She also alleged that Swamy had harassed many women. “He often shows pictures of him with top leaders and ministers. People believe he can get things done. He manipulates and he has to be punished,” said the actress.
