India, Aug. 21 -- Rahul Mamkootathil, Congress MLA from Kerala's Palakkad, resigned from the post of Youth Congress president on Thursday over allegations of misbehaviour levelled against him by a Malayalam actress and a writer.

Actress Rini Ann George, without taking any name, accused "a young leader" of a well-known political party of misbehaviour. While Rini Ann George did not drop any name, BJP and the CPI(M) alleged Rahul Mamkootathil was the one she was talking about.

Writer Honey Bhaskaran levelled similar allegations in a Facebook post, in which she alleged that she had no personal acquaintance with Rahul until June 9 when he slid into her Instagram DMs and initiated a conversation about her trip to Sri Lanka.
