Stock market trader P.R. Sundar has been booked by the Ice House police in Chennai. The police case was filed after a woman news anchor employed with a private television channel accused him of sexual harassment, wrongful confinement and criminal intimidation, according to a news report by The New Indian Express.

The First Information Report (FIR) has been filed under five provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including sections relating to sexual harassment, offences against women and criminal intimidation, said Police. An investigation into the allegations is underway, The New Indian Express report said.

The woman alleged that she had approached Option trader Sundar for employment.

The complainant also alleged that Sundar later asked her to visit his office on the pretext of apologising for an incident that she said took place on June 29, 2026. She claimed that she was confined to a room for nearly three hours during the meeting, and allegedly subjected to sexual harassment and threatened with serious consequences, The New Indian Express report said.
