Chennai migrant sexually assaulted: A surprising incident has come to light from Chennai. An 18-year-old 8-year-old migrant woman was sexually assaulted in an auto-rickshaw late Monday night outside the Kilambakkam bus terminus near Chennai. The victim was waiting for the bus. Police have said that they are investigating the CCTV footage near the place of incident and can catch three suspects soon.
How did the attack?
An auto-rickshaw driver offered the woman to ride, but she refused. Despite this, the accused forcefully pulled him inside. After a while, two more people boarded the auto and sexually harassed the knife tip. Hearing the screams of the woman, some local people informed the police. The police chased the auto-rickshaw, but the accused ran away on the roadside. A passer -by, who was a policeman by chance, helped the victim and gave him protection. Investigation revealed that the girl is from another state and works in Salem.
Police investigation and search for suspects
According to the information, the police is searching the CCTV footage near the incident. Three suspects have been identified and close to arrest. Let me tell you that this incident took place exactly one month later when there was another sexual harassment incident in the Anna University campus, due to which there was a fierce political dispute.
Tamil Nadu BJP chief K.K. Annamalai targeted the state government and said that sexual harassment in the state has become a terrible reality. He alleged that drug trafficking is increasing in Tamil Nadu, but arrests are decreasing. According to him, in 2021, 9,632 arrests were made in NDPS (Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substance) cases, but between 2022 and 2024 this number declined to 1,122. He raised the question whether the Tamil Nadu government is deliberately offering open discounts to drug smugglers?
Next action of government and police
The police have assured that the suspects will be arrested soon and law and order will be strengthened. At present, political rhetoric in the state has intensified due to this incident.
