Allegations Against Temple Priest Unfold Disturbing Pattern of Abuse

The arrest of 37-year-old temple priest Karthik Munusamy on charges of raping a woman, an employee of a television company, sheds light on a disturbing narrative of manipulation and coercion. Munusamy, affiliated with Kalikambal Temple, allegedly preyed on the victim’s trust, exploiting her vulnerability under the guise of performing religious rituals.

The victim, an engineering graduate, accuses Munusamy of administering a spiked drink and raping her, later coercing her into a physical relationship by promising spiritual benefits. Disturbingly, the abuse escalated as Munusamy allegedly arranged for her to be raped by a friend and subjected her to verbal and physical abuse when she resisted. Amidst claims of police negligence and threats from the accused, the victim seeks justice, highlighting the urgent need for swift and thorough investigation into such cases of abuse of power and trust.
