A police official said Rajesh Das has been arrested in connection with the complaint filed by Beela Venkatesan on Monday.
Last year, Rajesh Das, who had served as special DGP during the previous AIADMK regime, was convicted by a court in Villupuram in a case of sexual harassment of a junior woman IPS officer.
He had been sentenced to three years' imprisonment. In a recent order, the Supreme Court had provided him temporary relief -- a reprieve from arrest.
