In 2022, he faced another accusation related to drugging a woman leader and circulating a nude video of her.

After the incident in 2018, Sajimon was initially suspended from the party while investigations were ongoing. However, two years later, he was reinstated and appointed as the branch secretary of the Kotali unit. During the investigation, it was revealed that when the survivor became pregnant, Sajimon tried to evade detection by sending someone else to take the DNA test in his name.
