Rippling Co-Founder Prasanna Sankar Accuses Police of Harassment as Custody Battle Intensifies

Prasanna Sankar claims he is fleeing Chennai police after being accused of child abduction, while his estranged wife alleges kidnapping and sexual misconduct.

Prasanna Sankar alleges that the Chennai police are harassing him and his associates, including detaining a friend without an FIR, and demanding a bribe of Rs 25 lakh.
Divya Shashidar, Sankar's estranged wife, accuses him of kidnapping their 9-year-old son and has sought assistance from the Chennai police and US Embassy.
Sankar claims a US court ruled in his favor in an international child abduction case, granting him custody rights under a Memorandum of Understanding.
Divya has made serious allegations against Sankar, including sexual misconduct, illegal property transfers, and threatening behavior, which he denies.
Both sides are preparing for further legal action, with Divya and the police expected to address the media, while Sankar plans to file a petition against alleged police harassment.
