The woman was reportedly helping her father in his business. She alleged that the son first sexually abused her promising to marry her and the father later followed suit.
She had reportedly taken the video using a web cam. "We have registered a case and a probe is on," an officer said.
Meanwhile, Thettayil has rubbished the allegation, saying it is part of a conspiracy to malign him. Thettayil has reportedly said that the woman was known to him and alleged that she was an expert in morphing images in computer.
Reports quoted Thettayil as saying that the woman had earlier alleged that his son had impregnated her, but the allegation was proved wrong in medical tests. He said he would fight the case legally and rubbished the woman's claim that her marriage was fixed with his son.
