The maid, who had never seen Kalaivanan before, screamed loudly for help, shouting"tolong, tolong!" Her cries were heard by a neighbouring maid. The claims were rejected and Kalaivanan was convicted of all four charges, with another nine to be taken into consideration. He said his relatives were"going through a big time of embarrassment through me" and said he wanted an opportunity from the court to prove to them that"I'm ok, I'm not a menace to anybody".
"If you give him PD punishment, he's just going to break down and life is going to be useless for him," said the uncle."Could you please approve the gag order?" he said. There is no gag order on Kalaivanan's identity.
