Bengaluru, Mar 28: Bharatiya Janata Party candidate from Bengaluru South Tejasvi Surya has found himself at the centre of a controversy after a woman broke her silence and accused him of abusing her for five years.

Amidst controversy over BJP’s decision to field this 28-year-old hardline Hindutva activist from the prestigious constituency, a businesswoman, Dr Som Dutta, took to Twitter to share some grisly details about him.

In a series of tweets, which are since inaccessible, Som Dutta accused the BJP candidate of being a 'womaniser, abuser and woman beater' and asked people if they wanted to 'blindly support him'. She also alleged she was not his first victim or would be the last and also claimed to be ready to share the proof.

Som Dutta said that she suffered for over five years before she made it stop by taking serious measures. She said that she was not his first victim, nor his last.

Dutta's tweets were shared by the Karnataka Congress, which asked if Tejasvi was another M J Akbar in the making and said that Bangalore South will remember the candidature.

However, after her tweets went viral, Dutta deleted them and put up a tweet asking people to leave the issue alone, as they are both from good families and people will get hurt if the matter is dragged further. At this time, her Twitter profile appears to be inactive.
