Former TV presenter found guilty of sex charge


CRAFTY, cunning, pretentious and guilty, said the judge, when he ruled on Tuesday that former TV presenter Vidya Shankar Aiyar had indeed molested a 30-year-old woman after a party last year.  

District Judge Victor Yeo described the 37-year-old bachelor as a “hunting wolf in sheep’s clothing” and not the “clear and candid” person his lawyers Subhas Anandan and Anand Nalachandran, had made him out to be.
