Tech entrepreneur alleges harassment by wife, police; official denies allegations

CHENNAI: A tech entrepreneur with Chennai roots and co-founder of a multi-billion dollar company, has alleged the Chennai police harassed him and that his wife filed a false complaint against him.

However, a senior police official denied the charge and said that there was no truth in the allegation. "Our team is probing a complaint by the woman. The allegations are baseless," he said.

Immediately after the co-founder of Rippling, Prasanna Sankar, embroiled in a legal battle with his estranged wife, took to social media alleging that an Assistant Commissioner of Police and a Sub Inspector demanded Rs 25 lakh from him to release his friend in their alleged custody, the woman told reporters that her son was taken away by her husband's manager Gokul on March 3.
